Amy Fields
Atelierista
Amy moved to the US from the UK in 2011 and is settled here with her husband and three children. She still gets regular shipments of tea from England, but enjoys family life in Decatur.
Amy’s BA honors from Leeds University is in Applied Social Sciences and Drama, Film and TV. She also has a Post Graduate Certificate in Education from the University of York St John, specialising in English Language and Literacy. Over the past 25 years, she has enjoyed a rich and varied career in education. Amy has taught children ages 0-18 years, many of whom were neuro-divergent and all with varied backgrounds and life stories.. She has a passion for discovering children’s individual gifts and helping them fulfill their true potential.
Amy was part of the original Willow team and has had many different roles. She looped with her infant class up to PreK and has since been part of the pedagogical team, most recently in the role of Atelierista. This allows her to get creative with the children in all age groups! She was fortunate enough to attend a study tour in Italy which gave her the opportunity to deepen her understanding of the Reggio Emilia approach.
Outside of The Willow School, Amy enjoys documenting family life through photography and writing, cooking and with her children, reading and spending time outside, in nature with friends.
