Natasha moffo // Ignite preschool director
Natasha (Tasha) joined the North Madison Team in August of 2023 as the Ignite Preschool Director. She loves joining parents and kids in joyfully celebrating the milestones of these ages: taking their first steps, saying their first words, parroting expressions, sharing the ranges of emotion, and learning how seen and loved they are. To her, one of the most amazing pieces of this phase is also working with parents, volunteers, and leaders to share and IGNITE the love God has for each of the little ones by making the most of every opportunity to sing and learn, play, and grow together.
Natasha and her husband Aaron have been married since 2016 and both joined the NMCC staff in 2023. They moved to Madison from Atlanta after falling in love with the community. For fun, Natasha loves to listen to podcasts and music, read, go for walks around Madison, binge an occasional Netflix series about cooking or house renovations-- though she really isn't a good cook (yet?). If you ever have any inspirations or questions about engaging with the Preschool ministry or really ANY reason to chat over a cup of coffee, she loves to have any excuse for splurging on coffee.
