Alex
Alex has been in the childcare field for over ten years. Starting as an infant and toddler teacher she gained experience in all ages through forest model schools with Reggio Emilia, Montessori, and Woldorf inspiration. She soon started curriculum directing leading to Chickadee. Alex's favorite part of this setting is experiencing development and expanding each child's individuality. In her free time she loves to hike with her dogs or head up the mountain to snowboard.

Megan
As a Damariscotta native and current Gray resident, Megan loves it here while raising two children Cassidy (5) and Violet (2). In school, she studied Psychology and Spanish, while running a Massage Therapy business. With many years of babysitting paired with motherhood she has learned so much about child development and behavior. She then taught violin for years while in a Montessori preschool. In her free time, she loves to hangout by the lake, cooking homemade meals, hiking with her lab (Charlie), and visiting family up North!
