Melissa Le
Melissa came from the Dallas-Fort Worth part of The Lone Star State a long time ago, y'all. From there she moved to New York City imagining she would become a rock star or famous author. The latter seemed the more likely and since receiving her BFA in literature/creative writing she has been quietly spinning her tales. Her love for children and the creative energy they fuel brought her into the Masters program at Brooklyn College for early childhood education where she is beginning her senior thesis — and to the Co-Op school. She's hoping to write the first great Vietnamese-American coming-of-age novel and to be the greatest rock star teacher ever.

Debbie Wiser
Debbie was born in California, raised in Oregon. She has always had a great love for children and easily found her way into early childhood education after graduating from Oregon State. She moved to New York three years ago, ready to try her hand at the big city. She fell in love with Brooklyn. She has a passion for nature and enjoys combining that with her passion for teaching; Debbie believes there is no better teacher than the great outdoors.

Ben Eastman
Ben has a daughter, Kylie, who's in third grade and is a Co-Op School grad, and a son, Zane, who's 3 and is a Cricket. He also has a very nice dog who loves kids. Her name is KZ. Ben's wife, Alli, also loves kids: she runs a school for bigger kids. Ben likes to surf — a lot — and also really likes spearfishing. Skateboarding is really fun too. But he likes being with his daughter now the best. His favorite number is 9 (He also likes 13). His favorite colors are blue and yellow. But he's colorblind, so he says he's not really too sure.
