The Team

Corey Sethi

Director of HOPE Preschool

Corey’s journey with HOPE Preschool is deeply personal, having experienced the magic of this community from every angle—first as a HOPE parent, room mom, and member of the Praise and Celebration team, and later as a classroom teacher.

Stepping into the role of Director, she brings over a decade of elementary teaching experience and a Master’s degree in Educational Administration to the HOPE leadership team. Her extensive time teaching first grade—where she also served as a team leader and mentor—gave her a unique, firsthand understanding of exactly what children need to master to transition successfully into elementary school.

This unique blend of high-level academic leadership and a deep-rooted love for the HOPE community ensures that every child receives a rigorous, play-based academic foundation within a joyful, nurturing environment.

Ellie Kahn

Office Manager

Ellie has been a dedicated part of the HOPE family for years, first getting to know our school as a parent before stepping in as a room mom and devoted volunteer.

Stepping into the role of Office Manager, she brings a diverse background in business and real estate to the HOPE administrative team. Her extensive experience coordinating local community programs—from leading Girl Scout troops to supporting the local animal shelter and serving on the PTA Board—gives her a strong, hands-on understanding of how to support and connect our preschool families.

This unique blend of professional business expertise and a deep-rooted love for the HOPE community ensures that our front office runs smoothly, efficiently, and with a welcoming touch for every family who walks through our doors.
