In June of 2023, Terrie was appointed as Assistant Director to work alongside Chris Kovago, Lisa Wyman and Alison Petersen. Terrie’s main priority is to provide a safe and appropriate environment. She will work closely with all educators as a support person which includes curriculum, classroom management, social/emotional skills and other various training throughout the year. Terrie will also work closely with families. Terrie has a life-long love of learning and the desire to instill this in young children, while developing their sense of self. In 2022 Terrie completed a 200 hour training to become a yoga instructor and an SEL (social/emotional) Facilitator. At some point, she hopes to run wellness workshops for both children and adults. Outside of work, Terrie enjoys poetry and reading, live music, hiking and camping, going to the beach, watching the Patriots, and spending time with family and friends.
