Stacey Walker, Director
Stacey has been working in the field of education for 25 years. She comes to FPNS from New Canaan CARES, where she was responsible for the mental health and wellness education of children and families. Stacey's career began teaching first grade in the inner city of New York. She quickly realized that mental health and education were integral to family dynamics. With this in mind, she taught parent workshops and created an after-school theatre club for her students to express themselves through the arts. Keeping this theme throughout her teaching career in New York, Colorado, and Connecticut, she continued to educate children and families to promote wellness and growth. Stacey earned her Master's in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from New York University and a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Vermont. She is thrilled to be a part of the FPNS family! FPNS brings her joy every day as she watches children grow, laugh, and smile! Stacey lives with her husband and three children in New Canaan.
