Miss Maggie

Lead Teacher Four's Program

I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive and stimulating environment that fosters curiosity through play-based learning.  My vision is to make a positive impact on the lives of all the children and their families who attend Norfield Children's Center.  I  hold an MS degree in Early Childhood Education from Wheelock College Graduate School/Boston University.  I grew up in Weston and attended Norfield Children's Center preschool as a child.   Other than teaching, I have two children in College and enjoy spending summertime on the mid coast of Maine.

I am excited to be teaching in the 4’s classroom, after subbing for a couple of years.  It is such a joy to foster the growth of curious, young minds as well as see the wonder of the world on their adorable little faces.  I have been living in Weston for the past 20 years with my husband & two children.  I enjoy spending time with family & friends, walking and playing tennis, all the more in warm weather!

Weston has been my family’s home for 25 years.  My husband and I raised two sons here, both of whom graduated proudly from Norfield Children’s Center and are now in college!  I have a B.A. in English Literature from Middlebury College and was a medical writer and publisher until I decided to leave my job, raise our children, and volunteer in the community. I loved being a Norfield sub last year and I am so happy to return this year as a Two’s teacher.
