Sasha Prosser
Morning Star Kindergarten Teacher
Sasha has been teaching at SunRidge since its opening, bringing her passion for early childhood education and holistic learning to the classroom each day. With a background in Waldorf education and a multiple-subject teaching credential from Sonoma State, Sasha believes in nurturing the whole child—head, heart, and hands.
Prior to joining SunRidge, Sasha attended an early Waldorf childhood training program and volunteered as a craft teacher in her daughters' classes. She later completed the four-year Waldorf Teacher Training program through the Center for Educational Renewal. Over the years, she has taught kindergarten, guided a class from first through fifth grade, and led another class from first through eighth before returning to kindergarten in 2019.
Sasha’s teaching approach is rooted in fostering curiosity, cultivating kindness, and encouraging independence. She finds joy in creating a nurturing environment where children can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace.
Outside the classroom, Sasha enjoys spending time in nature, a passion that often inspires her lessons and storytelling. She feels grateful to be part of the SunRidge community and to support students on their journey of growth and discovery.

Lauren Norgeot
Dragonfly TK Teacher
Lauren brings eight years of experience working with young children, including two years teaching a TK/Kindergarten combination class at Lagunitas Community School where her commitment to outstanding service was recognized with the 2026 Marin County Office of Education Golden Bell Award.
Her path to teaching began as a music educator, teaching vocal workshops, performing for elementary school assemblies, and implementing her own music program for preschool-aged children throughout Sonoma County. Lauren holds a Bachelor’s degree in Studio Art and Art Education at Cal Poly Humboldt, and a certificate of achievement in Early Childhood Education from the College of the Redwoods. She is currently completing her Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and Master’s of Education at Dominican University of California. When she is not teaching, she loves spending time with her family (including two children), playing music, gardening, and cooking.
“It is a joy and an honor to explore nature with children, dive into imaginative play, and navigate everyday emotions with an open heart. Sharing in the discovery process with children connects us with the roots of our humanity.”
Molly Heacock
Dragonfly TK Assistant
Molly has been the Morning Star Kindergarten assistant since the beginning of 2025, following a year of assisting in both kindergarten classes. She brings years of experience working in a Waldorf preschool and parenting three children at the Sebastopol Independent Charter school. It is there that her love for Waldorf education blossomed.
In addition, Molly has experience working as a teacher at Alchemia, a non profit organization serving adults with special needs. For seven years she assisted in teaching dance, oil painting, cooking and gardening.
Molly has always been interested in natural medicine, having taken classes in acupressure and Shiatsu massage. That led to her journey working at the Wellness Department at Oliver’s Market for eight years.
This brings us to today where she comes full circle to her previous love of working with children and sharing her healing and nurturing talents.
In her everyday life she enjoys spending time with her family, cooking, and attending musical events with her husband.
