Just getting their walking feet! These wannabe toddlers are 12 to 24 months old. There are 8 children in the class and 2 teachers in the room with an extra set of hands available for lunch time everyday. They are just starting to experience the sensory table, some creative art and a little bit of story time at the lunch table while the teachers are getting plates ready. They love music, bubbles, throwing and climbing on everything!
Ashley Grandjean, Head Teacher (2008)
I have worked as the Assistant Teacher in the Infant/ Waddler Room working with Mandi since 2008. We have formed a great friendship over the years and I will miss working with her but I am super excited about becoming a Head Teacher. It's wonderful waking up every morning and being truly excited to get to your job and start your day with your "second family". I completed the Early Childhood Education program at BOCES during high school and went on to get my Child Development Associate Credential in Infant/Toddlers while working at New Day. Working with children has always been a passion of mine. I love the huge smiles that I put on their faces everyday and the tight squeezes I get at drop off and pick up times. Just Knowing that I make a difference in their lives is PRICELESS! I recently married my best friend Andy. We look forward to starting a family of our own but until then, we enjoy our quiet times together and spending time with family and friends.
Kayla Hargan, Assistant Teacher (2015)
I am a graduate of Jefferson Community College with an Associates degree in Early Childhood Education and Liberal Arts Creative Writing. I had some great fieldwork experiences at Jefferson Campus Care and Fort Drum's Riva Ridge Daycare. I have always loved being around kids. A great joy in life is to make children smile and watch them grow.
