Alicia Donovan
School Director
I have worked at this childcare center since 1999. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Plymouth State College, with a double major in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education with a minor in Child Psychology. Every day working in childcare is filled with excitement and joy. Watching children grow and learn is truly heart-warming. I have had the pleasure of seeing so many children start here at 3 months old, graduate and move off to kindergarten, return to work here themselves and start a career in the field of education. Many now are sending their own children here for exceptional childcare. I am very lucky to work with such a knowledgeable and experienced team. Their longevity shows how dedicated they are to the field of education. I have been married for over 26 years. My husband and I love to travel around New England and look forward to our family vacation every year.
