“A child's experience in early education depends on the quality of the staff.  It is a pleasure to work at the Mansfield Children's Center with a group of caring, motivated, knowledgeable teachers.  Their commitment, and the expert guidance of the directors, informs our common goals for the children and their families: creating lifelong learners and engaged citizens.”

“I pretty much grew up at MCC.  It for me is like home away from home.  The outdoor environment is a little resort on its own: with gardens, nature paths, fields, playgrounds, a butterfly atrium, and a pool.  The core staff and directors are knowledgeable and are great resources.  The directors - Kevin, Jeanne, and John - are always available and on site.  The curriculum at MCC is forever expanding to new and challenging heights.  MCC is not only a place where children thrive, but a place where the staff do too.”

“The Mansfield Children’s Center is full of coworkers that are friendly, supportive of each other and very knowledgeable.  There is an abundance of open play space, inside and out.  There are also several areas for children to experience and learn about gardening and nature, hands-on.”

Nancy – 10+ years at MCC

“Being a teacher here allows me to continue to grow and be the best I can at what my passion is and that is caring for young children and teaching them new skills to master each day in a healthy and happy environment.”

Kate – 20+ years at MCC

“I began working at MCC in January of 1992. I find my job to be both challenging and rewarding. As teachers we are challenged with providing not only the best possible care, but the best  possible experiences and opportunities for the children. During my years at MCC I have seen and helped implement the signing program as well as embraced our outdoor space with the Natural Science Program. I plan to remain at MCC caring for and enjoying the daily growth of the children in our care.”

Lilly – 20+ years at MCC

Preschool Teacher

“This is my home away from home.  I love MCC – we’re family here.  I love the children and the families that come here.  I love that we’re always learning – I’m learning.  I didn’t know any thing about art, or plants, or animals, or any of that... so I am learning along with the children.  I also like that [the directors] are always here for us and they respect that we have our own family at home and if something comes up the office is always trying to make it work for us.  I just like everything about MCC.  I wouldn’t ever want to leave here.”

Molly – 5+ years at MCC

Infant, Toddler, Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, School-Age Teacher

“I absolutely cherish the opportunity and responsibility to nurture children as they grow and learn about the world around them. With the in-depth natural science curriculum provided at MCC, children not only grow, but thrive in a world of plants, animals, and insects we find in our own backyard. This provides so many opportunities for question asking, risk taking, and developing skills. We help foster a love of the environment and practice the first building blocks to becoming future scientists!”

Rachel – 5+ years at MCC

Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten Teacher

“I feel like the kids are mine, so I feel like I’m coming home in the morning. I learn new stuff every day, not just about the kids, but also, I’ve learned more about myself. It’s a happy environment where the people I work with feel like family.  I enjoy the flexibly to develop my own STEM curriculum ideas and I love nature. In the summer time we are always outside, learning about butterflies and gardening, so this is like the perfect job for me.”

Courtney – 15+ years at MCC

Morning Preschool, Morning Pre-Kindergarten, School Age Teacher

“I enjoy watching how much these kids change.  Watching them from the infant room through school age as they learn and figure things out... seeing the kids that I had six years ago over at school age now becoming 'greens' and 'blues'.  Knowing that I helped them in some small part.”

Tara – 20+ years at MCC

Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, School-Age Teacher

“I have made MCC a part of my family.  I can always count on my co-teachers to be their for me no matter the situation.  Their dedication to the children's growth and development makes them true teachers and not daycare workers.  We as a team are always striving to be the best teachers we can be and the support goes a long way towards my growth.  The natural science curriculum is my favorite part of all the curriculum.  To watch the children's delight in experiencing the wonders of nature especially the butterflies and knowing I am part of that experience.  MCC is the place for me!”

Wendy – 10+ years at MCC

“MCC is a wonderful place for children to grow up.  The natural science curriculum nurtures the children’s understanding of the world around them while also instilling a respect for the plants, bugs, animals and everything living around them.  I’m proud to be a part of that.  I enjoy coming to school, spending time with the different age groups and being a part of the MCC family.”

Nancyellen – 5+ years at MCC

“MCC offers a program like no other preschools I have been part of.  I am amazed to see how much children are capable of learning in such a short period of time after being at MCC.  I love the teachers I work with - their dedication to teaching the children always amazes me.  The children bring joy each day to my life.  I have so many stories to share about things they say or do - I could write a book!  Maybe I will.”

Shirley – 30+ years at MCC

“After working here for thirty years there is so much to say. I focus primarily on keeping up with the office work, but, at times, teaching children to respect nature. At MCC the children always come first and they are enjoyable to work with, for they always want to know more.”

Sandra – 20+ years at MCC

Office Coordinator

“MCC has challenged me to grow and stretch my skills to better serve my peers, the children, and the Center as a whole. The directors and coordinators are encouraging and supportive, allowing a comfortable and enjoyable work environment. The opportunities to work beyond my office role – IT, photography, video, natural science studies, and occasionally working alongside children makes life at MCC, for me, an adventure every day. Variety is the spice of life at MCC.”

Linda – 10+ years at MCC

Infant Teacher

“The warm atmosphere of sharing and support among the staff and families at MCC is what makes it a most interesting, fun and unique place to work and learn.  It is gratifying to watch the small infants in my care grow and develop into such capable and caring School Agers over the years and to feel that I played a small role in that process.”

Colleen – 20+ years at MCC

Morning Preschool, Morning Pre-Kindergarten, School Age Teacher

“I like being here because I like the philosophy of teaching children to be independent thinkers and getting them to think about how to come to their own conclusions.  I like the way we are taught to teach through question asking.  I like that it is all about [the children] and it is not about lecturing and how smart I am as a teacher, but how much we can work together as a team to ask questions and find answers.  Really spending that time forms a bond between the children and the teachers.”
