Nursery School Director
Megan Florentine
With roots out West and in Michigan, and a career that has taken me from Nashville to Greenwich, I have always loved the adventure of discovering new places and cultures. Throughout my life, I have called eight different states home.
After spending 20 years teaching at a K–12 independent school in Nashville, Tennessee, for the last three years, I have served as the Director of the First Presbyterian Church-affiliated Nursery School.
I am also a consulting teacher for The Center for Responsive Schools. In this role, I train educators nationwide in teaching social and emotional skills alongside academics. I find it fulfilling to bring this work and passion to the First Presby community.
I am grateful to belong to such a wonderful community.

My parents both live in Michigan. My sister, Natalie, her husband, Patrick, and their three young daughters live in the western suburbs of Chicago. I see them as often as I can and love being a part of their lives. My boyfriend, Chris, works as a producer and director for WWE. Neither he nor I are from Connecticut, so we love exploring this area together and are always eager for an adventure.
