Francesca Drago, but the kids call her Fran :) was born and raised in Lima, Peru and moved to the United States when she was 15 years old.

She now lives in Asheville, where she’s come to love the sense of community. She has a dog, Khala, a cat, Masha, and two younger siblings. Family is very important to her, so she enjoys spending time with them every time she can. She loves art, photography, film, and finding creative ways to express herself. 

Fran has experience working with kids of different ages through babysitting, and childcare. She enjoys creating a safe space for the kids where they feel comfortable and have fun while learning. She loves working with children because they help her slow down and stay present. The way they see the world with so much honesty and curiosity is something that she values a lot. She loves helping them feel confident and supported and loved inside and out of the classroom.
