Paula, Preschool Director & Parent

"In my 23 years at Green Fields, I’ve worn many hats—teacher, mentor, administrator, and preschool director—but the role that brings me the greatest pride is being a Green Fields parent.

​

This school has nurtured in my daughter a boundless love for learning, all while allowing her the freedom to enjoy childhood. At a time when so many schools prioritize rigor over joy, Green Fields stands apart. Here, curiosity is celebrated, empathy is woven into every classroom, and children are not just taught—they’re understood.

​

As Arizona’s oldest independent day school, Green Fields carries a legacy of educational excellence. But it’s our future that excites me most. I truly believe our graduates will change the world—not out of idealism, but because I’ve seen it happen. Time and time again, I’ve watched students leave these halls ready to shape their own lives and the lives of those around them.

That’s the power of a Green Fields education. As both an educator and a mother, I wouldn’t want my child anywhere else."
