Caroline Berney

Kindergarten Teacher

Caroline Berney received a Bachelor of Arts in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing from the University of Oregon. She has been teaching for over fourteen years. Previously, Ms. Berney worked as a lead educator for five years at The Nest Nursery School and for three years at The Grant Park Cooperative Preschool – Cabbagetown. In her pre-child life, she was a proofreader at various accounting firms in downtown Atlanta.

After graduating from college in Eugene, Oregon, Ms. Berney has called Atlanta home sweet home since 1997. She lives in Grant Park with her awesome partner, Derek, who is a graphic designer. Ms. Berney is a mother to two lovely teenagers, Ava and Lillian, who both love insects and creatures of all kinds, playing video games and watching movies, hanging out with friends, and drawing. They share their space with two cats, Cricket and Beetle, and occasional house spiders.

Things that make Ms. Berney curiouser and curiouser: insects, typography, empowered childbirth (she’s also a doula when she finds the time!), running, reading, flower-tending, new wave 80s, EDM, and goth/industrial music/dancing, and finding the sweet simplicity in life and in the here and now. She looks forward to being inquisitive, imaginative, and insightful with the students at ANCS.
