Meet Our Staff
Diana Davis/Director
Diana has been at Broadway Children’s School since 2008. For the first eight years at BCSO she was a teacher in both Rainbow and Sunshine programs, then took on the additional role of site supervisor in 2016.
Jennifer McManus/Assistant Director
When her daughter moved on to kindergarten from the Rainbow Room, Jennifer wasn’t ready to leave Broadway--so she didn’t! She joined Broadway’s Extended Care staff in Fall 2005 and the Rainbow Room teaching team the following year.
Cirila Call/Teacher
Cirila earned an education degree from Hunter College, City University of New York. It wasn’t until her own children attended at play-based co-op preschool that she realized how much she enjoys working with preschool aged children.
Lisa Klyce/Teacher
Lisa Klyce first walked through the doors of Broadway Children’s School in 2002 as a parent in the PACT program and never left. Her children are members of the classes of ’05 and ’08.
Mari Dávalos/Teacher
Mari is from Quito, Ecuador, and has been involved in early childhood education since her three children (now 14, 18, and 19!) started preschool.
Natalie Deremiah/Teacher
Natalie received a B.S. in Child Development with a minor in Psychology from California Polytechnic State University. The “learn by doing” motto on campus allowed her to apply what she was learning in a real life setting.
Jessie Kael/Teacher
Like Jennifer and Lisa, Jessie came to Broadway as a parent and fell in love with Broadway. She served in a variety of volunteer capacities including Board Chair as each of her three children attended school here, then accepted the Business Manager position in July of 2020.
