Chase Bergthold - Sycamore Lead Teacher

Chase Bergthold has worked in Early Childhood Education for the past eight years. She grew up attending the Seattle Waldorf School, which instilled in her a love of art, storytelling, and the belief that children should be allowed to simply be children while they are young. As the oldest of five siblings—three brothers and one sister—Chase spent a lot of time playing with and helping her siblings learn. She is married to an amazing man, and together they have a teenage son and a baby girl, who are the center of her world. Chase has a deep passion for teaching, especially in Early Childhood Education, where children’s joy, imagination, and love of life and learning inspire her daily. She believes that the children she works with teach her just as much as she teaches them, and they keep her grounded and humble. The best feeling for her is knowing that the children in her care love being at school and she can witness them experiencing their "Aha" moments.
