Infants & Little Tots Teachers
Kate Nelsen
INFANTS TEACHER
I have taught at Deer Valley Academy for six years, watching over the youngest of our children in the Infant and Little Tots rooms. I was also a nanny during 2020. I was an in-home daycare provider in California before moving to Utah. My early childhood years were in Minnesota. I also spent two years in South Carolina with trips taken to Florida, Washington DC and New York City. Travel is a favorite hobby of mine and is important to expanding my horizons. I also enjoy reading.

Grace Storelli
LITTLE TOTS TEACHER
I am originally from Charlotte, North Carolina. The past few years I have traveled across the country while pursuing my degree in Human Services. I have worked with ages ranging from newborn to eight years old and I find with each age I learn to love more about the growing minds around me. I started working at Deer Valley in May of this year and completely fell in love with the community here. I look forward to continuing my first year at Deer Valley with your children!

I was born and raised in Gainesville, Florida, and then lived in Atlanta for 12 years. I learned to ski at Deer Valley about 23 years ago and have loved it here ever since. I now live in Salt Lake City and am very excited to work at Deer Valley Academy for my third year.

Flor Santa Maria
LITTLE KIDS TEACHER
I am originally from Argentina. I came to Deer Valley as part of the J1 program and just couldn't stay away. I've been living in Park City since 2020. Having worked with children since I was 17, I can genuinely say that I've fallen in love with Early Childhood Education. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to move up to the Little Kids classroom with my original class and can't wait to embark on a new learning journey with them.

Olga Woolley
PRESCHOOL TEACHER
I grew up in Central Asia and earned my master's degree in teaching Russian and English from the State University of Uzbekistan. With over 30 years of experience, I have taught numerous age groups in different countries. Upon arriving to the United States and beginning my new role as a Deer Valley Academy Teacher, I discovered the amazing world of 3- and 4-year-olds, a world where nothing is impossible and great discoveries happen every minute.
