About Melanie

Experience: 3 yrs

Hi! I am new to Ithaca and am passionate about early childhood education. I just earned my CDA and work part-time with infants and toddlers at a local center. I love to emphasize arts and crafts for creative self expression.

We have worked with Melanie for several years. She and our almost 4yr old are fast friends, and have been simpatico since our toddler was barely walking! Melanie is smart, creative, patient and has a sincere and genuine love for children that comes through in her daily interactions. She often initiates cool art projects with our child as well, the results of which are artsy enough to keep!
