Come to our Open House! September 20th 10:00-12:00. Children Welcome!
SMPNS is a Co-Op, which means that it's run by the parents and staff. The SMPNS Board works hard to bring educational, meaningful, and fun experiences to the students of SMPNS and their families.
Hi! My name is Rachel Kammeyer. My family has been a part of SMPNS since the Fall of 2019, and I now have two ½ graduates in elementary school. Our youngest, Genevieve, has started TK with her older brother and sister, but she is taking advantage of SMPNS’s amazing play-based afternoon program to stay connected to her friends and continue her social-emotional development at this incredible school! This year I am privileged to serve my third year on the Board as a co-president. I am very dedicated to this program and its wonderful families and teachers! I am a licensed speech-language pathologist and stay at home parent. Being a part of SMPNS has been one of the most wonderful and magical experiences for our entire family. Please reach out if you have any questions about our program!
Hi, I am Diana Sheng. I am so honored to serve this community as Co-President. We have been part of SMPNS since 2019, when we toured the school and my older son Rocket was so mesmerized by the amazing play yard that he refused to leave. My younger son Falcon joined in Spring 2025. This school has been a magical place for our kids to begin their life-long journey of learning. As a parent, being part of this inspirational community has been really fulfilling. I’m excited to utilize my professional experience as a CTO and as a teacher to make a meaningful contribution to this lovely school.
Hi, I’m Kairina Godina and I’m serving as Vice President this year. My daughter, Isabéa, started at SMPNS in Spring 2024 and we’ve loved our time at the school. My background ranges from accounting to now a business owner helping people to live more and hurt less via exercise and lifestyle habits. I’m excited to bring my experiences and skillset to SMPNS and support our community as VP.
Hi, I'm Lauren Stewart, and this is my second year serving as Treasurer. My family started at SMPNS in the fall of 2023, and it's been a blast! Our older kiddo, Charlotte, came to the school as a four year old, and is now in first grade. Violet, our younger kiddo, is attending her second year at SMPNS. My background is as a preschool teacher, nanny, and birth doula, and I love having the opportunity to be involved in my children's early education. I previously served as Treasurer on the board of the first co-op that my daughter attended, and I'm happy to be serving this community as well.
Hi, I’m Stephanie, and my family has a long history with this incredible preschool - my siblings and I grew up in North Shoreview and attended SMPNS many years ago, and it has been so special to come back to this community now as a parent.
This year I'll hold two positions on the SMPNS Board - Parent Education and Auction Solicitations. With a background in adult education, I'm excited to create opportunities for parents to learn together about our children's development. I also look forward to engaging and growing our school's network of generous auction donors through outreach to Bay Area businesses.
