Hello!  I am Marie , and am very happy to be starting my third year at WCCC. I have been a floating teacher at Fiske,  Bates, and currently at Schofield. I have a bachelor’s degree in elementary education, and  certifications in Special Education and English as a second language.  I enjoy STEM activities, art projects, and the creative play ideas children engage in every day.In my spare time, I have adventures with my two grandsons, ages three and seven.  I also take karate lessons, and  love to read, hike, and watch the Celtics! I look forward to a wonderful year getting to know you and your children.

I attended Lesley University and received a B.A. in Elementary Education with a minor in Special Education. I have been teaching for the past forty-five years in public schools, nursery schools and in the field of creative movement. For twenty years, I owned and operated a preschool program for two to four year olds. My husband and I have three grown sons and three grandchildren. My oldest son, Alex, attended WCCC more than thirty years ago, and from the moment I arrived back here to teach, I felt as if I had returned “home.”  I enjoy running, spinning, walking on the beach, reading, watching movies and traveling. Most of all, I adore spending time with my family and friends, and teaching young children. I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to partner with the gifted staff and committed parents at WCCC.

I am very excited to begin another school year with WCCC! I discovered my passion for helping youth in college, where I worked as a tutor and director for a K-12 after-school tutoring program. Since then, I’ve continued working with kids and teens through WCCC and other organizations. My experience has helped broaden my age range experience and I now actively care for youth from 3 months to 18 years old. Supporting kids to do their best, no matter the age, is something I find great purpose and joy in.

I graduated from Bates College with a minor in education, where I had the chance to volunteer in elementary and middle schools across Lewiston, ME. I then worked at summer camps across New England teaching frisbee, pottery, and marine science. I also worked as a math tutor in Belmont for a year. I love frisbee, board games, and reading, and looking forward to getting other people excited about them as well!

I graduated from Wellesley High School in 2016 and UMASS Boston in 2021. I am continuing my education. I have always loved working with kids. There is always so much more to learn and I am very excited to continue my teaching career at WCCC. In teaching, I try my best to make at least one new connection, with a different child, each day. I am incredibly happy that my journey through WCCC came full circle. I have lived in Wellesley my whole life, and as a child I attended both the ECP as well as the ASP. I can still remember how wonderful my teachers were to me, and how lucky I was to have them. With that in mind, I will strive to make a similar lasting impact on each and every child I work with. In my free time I enjoy being with family, watching and playing all kinds of sports. I have bundles of energy so I love being active. I love going to Lake Winnipesaukee–my favorite place in the world, in the summertime. Boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming and fishing are some of my favorite activities.

Hello everyone, thank you for welcoming me to WCCC. I am looking forward to being the floating site coordinator. My experience includes being an athletic director, basketball coach, site coordinator for an after-school program, and master of ceremonies for Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. I love all genres of music, playing basketball, working out, video games, watching movies, traveling, and hanging out with my friends. Thank you for the opportunity to spend time with you.
