We thought we would take this edition of our newsletter as a chance to introduce you to your child's teachers. Yes, you see them every day, and you talk to them about your children, but how much do you know about the Giving Tree Staff? Without further ado, let me introduce you to our staff. KristyHi, my name is Kristy. I've been in childcare for the past 21 years. I first started out at an indoor playground in Guilderland called Stompin' Grounds where I was a team leader hosting parties. A couple of years later I started at Maple Leaf Childcare Center as a teacher's assistant and worked my way up to director of the program. I was there for 10 years before I decided to work for BOCES with children who are diagnosed with emotional disturbances. I knew working with children was my calling so I decided to go to school for early education and special education. I attended SCCC and then went on the College of Saint Rose to receive my BA degree. I opened The Giving Tree in January of 2011. I am so blessed to have a successful business where families and children can feel comfortable, safe and loved. When I am not with my Giving Tree family, I am spending time with my fiance´ DP, my son Gavin (14), my daughter Ireland (7), and my step-daughter Sofie (6). I love Pinterest, music, and laughing. MicheleHi! I'm Michele. I am originally from Amsterdam, NY. I am the middle child and the single mother of two beautiful daughters Taryn (21) and Kyleigh (19) both full time students in college. In my free time I enjoy working out, kayaking, hiking, running, skiing and spending time with family and friends. My motto is Live LIfe to the FULLest! RachaelHi! My name is Rachael. I am currently attending school at HVCC for Radiology. In addition to The Giving Tree I waitress at Marcellas in Burnt Hills. I have 2 fur babies named Bella and Luna who are beautiful German Shepards. In my spare time I love to hike, watch football, horseback ride and I also took on hunting this year! PauletteHi, I'm Paulette. I have been working at The Giving Tree for almost 2 years now. I have lived in Charlton for 35 years. I have been married to my husband for 33 years and have 4 grown children who all graduated from Burnt Hills. I enjoy gardening and crafts and love working with your children!
