Nancy Geneva

Hi, I am Nancy Geneva, known to many as Ms. Geneva. I have been at Peace since 2001. Before that I spent ten years teaching Kindergarten in Appleton. I also have a love of improv and have been performing with ComedyCity for over 18 years. When I am not hanging out at school, doing improv, or buying shoes, I can be found at home with my husband (Gary) and my Great Dane, Xena. I love teaching. I love Peace. It is great when you look forward to coming to work each day!

My name is Cheryl Toth. I have worked at Peace Nursery Center since the fall of 2008. I have had the opportunity to work with children for the past 19 years. I believe children are the key to our future and deserve the very best educational experiences available. I am committed to providing those experiences in the classroom for children.
