Hello, my name is Mary, and I am the director of Green Mountain Childcare. With many years of experience working with children, I have cultivated a deep passion for nurturing young minds. My journey began with raising my own children and extending my care to foster children for eight fulfilling years. I also had the privilege of working for HCRS, where I took children out into the community, further enriching their experiences. Witnessing the joy and wonder in children’s eyes as they explore and learn is what drives my dedication to childcare. Opening my home to caring for children felt like a natural extension of this passion. What I find most rewarding is observing their growth and witnessing the excitement when they grasp new concepts. At Green Mountain Childcare, we prioritize creating a nurturing environment where every child feels loved and supported, enabling them to reach their full potential.

Philosophy
At Green Mountain Childcare, our philosophy revolves around the idea of play-based learning. I am dedicated to fostering a nurturing and secure environment where children can thrive. In our program, children are encouraged to learn through active engagement, whether it’s through play, creating, or problem-solving collaboratively. I firmly believe that when children are fully immersed and engaged in their surroundings, incredible things happen. It’s in these moments of genuine interaction and exploration that true learning occurs, sparking a sense of wonder and discovery in each child.
