My name is Alyssa. I live in Marlborough with my boyfriend and our cat. I have worked at Kids-a-lot for over a year. Growing up I was always around children, and I knew that I wanted to work with them when I was older. I have been working in the daycare field since I was 16!

Jackie

Hello, my name is Jackie. I have been working at Kids-A-Lot for the past 8 years. I received my Bachelor’s in Special Education from Westfield State University and my Master’s in Early Childhood Education from Lesley University. Throughout my young adult life, I have worked with all age groups, but have become particularly interested in Child Development. I love the field of teaching and I am most drawn to working with young children due to their openness to explore the world around them, as well as providing them with the foundation of learning. Preschoolers present a welcome challenge as they become more independent in exploring their social and emotional development as they get prepared for their public-school careers. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family in Maine, watching disc golf with my husband both as he plays and on TV, and watching our son, Oliver grow and develop his little personality.

Diane

Diane has been working with young children at Kids-A-Lot for the last decade. She is  DEEC certified for preschool.

Diane is an avid Patriots and Red Sox fan and loves watching a good game.

Hello, my name is Marcia. My career began working in the corporate world as a Software and Network Engineer. After my daughter was, I was looking for a job which would provide a part time opportunity with some flexibility. I was fortunate enough to receive an opportunity to work at Kids-a- in October 2013. I started working as a substitute in different rooms and had the chance to experience different age groups.

During my time at Kids-a-Lot, I have worked as a teacher with the 3-year old’s, as a Lead Teacher in the Young Toddlers and am currently working in the Kindergarten Enrichment Program.

Teaching challenges me both intellectually and emotionally and is a very rewarding career.
