Teacher-Twaddlers

Melissa A.
My name is Miss Melissa and I have worked at Children Central since December 2001. I have worked in the Twaddler room for over 8 years, as well as in the Preschool. I am one step away from achieving my Child Development Associates (CDA) credential. I would like to continue my education and receive a Bachelor’s degree in Education.

I have found much happiness and humility working with children. My goal as a teacher is to make sure the children in my care gain a sense of compassion, confidence and a love for learning.

My strong family connection has been a big part of who I am today. We are a fun, active large family. I have 14 aunts and uncles and 37 first cousins who I love very much. I have been married for the past 5 years to my husband Danny. I have the best parents and grandparents in the world, an awesome sister and brother and 7 of the most beautiful nieces in the world. I feel very confident that my education coupled with my personal experiences can continue to be a positive asset to Children Central.

Shannon
My name is Miss Shannon. I am a Twaddler (ages 2-3) teacher. I enjoy working with the two year olds. I love to help them develop and prepare for preschool, as we do a lot of arts and crafts projects, work on our ABC’s, numbers, colors and shapes and help them with their potty training.

I have been a Twaddler room teacher at Children Central since 2007 and cannot imagine a better place to be each day. This past year I was even nominated for "Teacher of the Year!" I am currently taking courses and finishing up my nursing degree at Bucks County Community College, as I will be both a qualified teacher and nurse! I also have taken courses in Early Childhood Education, in addition to the 18 hours of training that I take each year.

Outside of my classroom, I have two boys, ages 9 years and 5 months. When I have time, I enjoy taking bike rides at the park and spending time with my family and friends and especially look forward to our annual camping trip.
