Imagine Team
Amy Wagner: Program Director
My name is Amy Wagner and I am pleased to join the Imagine team as Program Director. I am looking forward to bringing lots of new classes, playgroups, clubs, seminars and special events to Imagine.
I am a mom of two girls ages 5 and 6 and a step-mom of a 17 year old young man. My background is in Early Childhood Education. I have worked with young children and their families for over 20 years in preschool and daycare settings and also at the former PlayPlace in Somerville. I am also a certified parent coach. It has become one of my passions to support, encourage and help guide parents along their parenting journey. I hope to bring new perspectives to parents and also allow parents to explore their own philosophies and decide what works best for their specific family.
If you have any thoughts about programs you would like to see happening at Imagine I would love to hear your ideas! I look forward to meeting new families and reconnecting with familiar faces. Please don’t hesitate to introduce yourself and say hello if you see me around. Be sure to check Imagine website soon for new programs!

Jarrett Melendez: Marketing & Program Coordinator
Jarrett has worked as a programming developer for comic book conventions throughout the country for more than 7 years. This includes drawing and illustration workshops, voice acting demonstrations, comic creator workshops, and panels on every facet of the comic book and film industries.
He hopes to transfer this programming experience to his work at Imagine by developing fun, interactive programs for children of all ages. Jarrett also speaks fairly fluent Japanese, and hopes to garner enough interest in a Japanese Language Playgroup so he can help others develop their language skills while continuing his own education.
Jarrett is passionate about language, comics, travel and helping develop young minds.

Amy Waltz: Founder
Creating a space for children and their families/caregivers to come, play and learn together has been a long held dream for Amy. She is thrilled that with the help of numerous committed individuals and the community, this dream is becoming a reality! She hopes that Imagine will offer a family friendly space where people of every age and background enjoy gathering.
Amy has been working with children most of her life, including professional work for more than 30 years. Her studies in early education and science inspired her to found Waltzing Bear: Early Arts & Science Education in 1988 to offer an intimate family child care setting with distinct advantages for children.
She has a passion for: working with children; procuring art; offering training, networking and sharing resources with educators and families; participating in all forms of art (dance, puppetry, visual arts, music, singing, storytelling etc.) and making learning a hands-on, fun time. Her enjoyment of the natural world has lead to a desire to support sustainable living choices.
Amy is delighted to have Imagine evolve amidst such a wonderful community in Cambridge and the Greater Boston area!
