Hi!  My name is Miss Bailey and I am the Director of the Bourne Center.  I graduated from Wellesley College in 2006 with a B.A. in Psychology & Education.  I am a certified Director II, Lead Teacher Preschool & Teacher for Infant/Toddlers.

I have a combined ten years experience in the field through teaching practicum, volunteer and work experience including helping to implement education programs for an orphanage in South Africa, working as an assistant in a Toddler classroom, and Lead Teacher for a preschool program before coming to Children’s Workshop and completing the Manager in Training program which brought me to my current position as Director in Bourne.  

My favorite thing about working with children is the ability to make life easier for families, both children and parents.  I love getting to know children and their many personalities and learning the life lessons that children teach adults on a regular basis.  My other hobbies, interests, and special skills include knitting, crocheting, reading, sailing, and being a parent to Louis and baby David!

Hello, my name is Chrissy and I am the Director of our Westerly location.

I began my career at The Children’s Workshop in April 2002 as the assistant director at our Pawtucket center. Shortly thereafter, I was promoted to Director of that center. I was lucky enough to be part of a wonderful team that opened TCW Westerly in 2006.

While in college fifteen years ago, I was working as a toddler lead teacher. I instantly knew that I was born to work with young children, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.  I enjoy working with children of all ages, watching them grow and learn. You will see my happy son Jack playing and learning in the infant classroom. He is a true testament on the importance of Early Childhood education.

I am very excited to be part of a great team of dedicated teachers that are here for you and your child. I look forward to teaching your children and making new relationships with you all. As the director of this beautiful center, my door is always open! Please let me know what I can do for you.

Hi! My name is Dave and I am the Senior Director for The Children's Workshop. I joined The Children's Workshop in January of 1994 and have held many roles in our centers over the years.  I served as the Director of our Warwick, East Greenwich, Lincoln and North Kingstown locations before working with the Home Office staff to support other directors.

I have a BA in Psychology and have been working in the early childhood education field for over 20 years, working with all age groups.  I am an avid sports fan, enjoy working outdoors, and love spending time with my family.

I enjoy working with children because it keeps me young; after all I am just a big kid!  Please stop by and visit me and the fantastic staff in North Kingstown.  We can't wait to meet you, show your our beautiful school, and welcome you to the TCW family!

Hi! My name is Julie and I am the Director at The Children's Workshop in Providence. I have been working at the Children's Workshop in Providence since the center opened in February 2008.  I was originally the Pre-Kindergarten Lead Teacher, before taking on an administrative role, first as the Assistant Director and now as the Acting Director.  Prior to joining the TCW team, I taught first grade for two years, at The Learning Community Charter School in Central Falls.  I attended Boston University, and have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Master's Degree in Elementary Education.  I am currently taking additional classes in Early Childhood Education.

My favorite part about working with children is tracking their growth and development, especially with regard to language and literacy.  In my free time, I enjoy playing violin, cooking, kayaking, travelling, and spending time with my family.

Hi, my name is Kim Ware. I am an educator as well as a parent so I am fully aware of the difficulty in choosing a high quality early learning program for your children. I have an Associates degree in education and a Bachelors in Sociology/Anthropology from The University of Massachusetts. I began my career in 1999 as a Montessori teacher, since then I have had experience working with all age groups at The Children's Workshop as well as many years experience in administration. My goal for our Pawtucket center is to provide all of my families with an educational, nurturing, and fun learning environment. Please call me with any questions or to book a tour of our wonderful facility.

Hi, I'm Linda, Director of the South Dennis Children's Workshop center! I have always known that I wanted to work with children, I started baby sitting when I was 12 years old and could not wait to have children of my own. I love being around the children to watch them grow and learn and see them smile when they have achieved a skill they were working on. I enjoy working with families to make thier child care experiances memorable. Prior to joining the TCW team, I was the Lead Teacher and Director at Cape Cod Child Development. Before that, I served as Director of Cataumet Preschool and was also the owner and Director of my own center in New Hampshire for many years. I have my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education, a Bachelor's Degree in Human Services, and a Master's Certificate in Early Intervention.

I reside in Sandwich with my husband and dog (Darla) and cat (Casey). I enjoy spending time with my four children and two grand children.

In my spare time I enjoy gardening, knitting and reading.

My name is Miss Nicole and I am the Director of The Children’s Workshop in Smithfield. I started working for the company in August 2008 in our Warwick location. I went to URI and received a BA in Elementary Education and Psychology. Currently, I am working on my Early Childhood Teaching Certificate.  Before being a director, I was a school-age coordinator in Warwick, as well as a substitute for the Public Schools. My favorite thing about working with children is that it’s a guarantee that every day is different! When I’m not at work, I like to spend time with my family and friends at places like the beach! My guilty pleasures are reality TV, Starbucks and Boston teams (Go Red Sox! Go Pats!)

My door is always open for information, help, or tours of the beautiful center! I would love to meet you and your children and show you around!

Hi!  My name is Ms. Sue and I am the School Age Coordinator at our Riverside center.  I started working with The Children's Workshop in 2010 at the Norwood school and have also had the pleasure of helping out in our North Attleboro and Warren centers as well.  I graduated from Fisher College with an Associates in Early Childhood Education and am currently working toward a Bachelor's Degree at Eastern Nazarene College.  

I have worked in the early childhood profession for over 20 years and love meeting and getting to know new families.  What I like most about teaching children is when the light "comes on" and you can see that they understand what you are teaching, it is so rewarding.  I live in Pawtucket and have two grown sons.  In my spare time I enjoy camping, boating and snowmobiling.  

Please stop by Riverside and say hello, I'd love to meet you and take you on a tour of our school!
