Established nearly 50 years ago, Intown Cooperative Playgroup has remained a celebrated Georgetown institution and continues as a nurturing environment dedicated to the development of young children, their families and our community.
OUR TEAM
Liz Jalali
Liz came to Intown in 2018 with broad experience as both a parent with classroom responsibilities and later a staff member at Concord St. Andrews Cooperative Nursery School in Bethesda, MD. A graduate of the University of Virginia, Liz spent many years as a fundraiser for non-profit organizations in the DC area before changing careers to early childhood education. Liz completed her Maryland certification in child growth and development and is a member of NAEYC. She is excited to be working with the youngest learners and getting to know the families of the Intown community. Liz and her husband Conrad live in Bethesda with their teenage daughters.
Anna Delligatti
Anna is an attorney and parent to Intown alum, Genie (2015-2016). She, her husband Paul, and their daughter are longtime Georgetown residents. Since her family’s time at Intown, she has never really left having made so many close friends through Intown and having her mother, Cindy, as Executive Director. Intown is fortunate that Anna will now coordinate Intown’s marketing, current family and alumni events, and admissions. Her goal is to bring new and former families together to build community, and to carry on a 50 year long program that has been so meaningful to her family and so many others.
MARIA FATELNIG-WINTER
Following her husband Peter, Maria moved to DC in the summer of 2018. She began her professional career as an educator in Austria, where she also completed her formal training including best practices of early childhood education. Since then, she has lived in several European countries and two decades in Brussels. She served as Director of the bilingual preschool at the International German School. Her philosophy is to approach children with an open mind and curiosity to support them in their development in the best possible way. She also loves to engage their creativity, especially in singing and crafts.
