Our Directors

  • Robin Holland

    Hi Everyone! I am going into my 33rd year at MCC. A big part of why I love it so much is the incredible people I work with I started off as a PreK and Nursery teacher. I then worked as Assistant Director, Director and now Owner/Director. I love being in the classroom and am always glad when I have a chance hang out with the kids. I graduated from Saint Anselm College with a BA in Psychology and from Southern Connecticut State University with a Masters in Psychology. In both of these programs I’ve taken numerous classes in early childhood, along with other classes in early childhood at Dean College in Franklin where I live. I have three great children, Nicky, Zacky, & Kacey. All three have attended MCC, Mrs. Dowd was their teacher. Nick and Kacey are now full-time teachers at MCC. I am the luckiest mom around, I get to see my kids every day! I have a wonderful husband, Michael, who helps out a lot at school doing anything that needs doing and is our Webmaster, Maintenance Engineer and BJ’s Guy. When not at school I can usually be found with my Kindle or following my Yankees, yup, we have a mixed marriage But my whole family are HUGE Pats fans!!

  • Cindy Dowd

    Wow! I cannot believe I am back for my 34th year at MCC. The last four have been spent full time as a director, a job I look forward to each day. Working everyday with such a fantastic, caring staff and with all the wonderful children and their families makes MCC my second home and adds sunshine to each day. My husband Henry and I live in Holliston with our much loved and spoiled dog Buddy. When not at school I enjoy gardening, reading, the beach and following all Boston sports teams. My very favorite thing is spending time with my children and grandchildren. I especially love watching all their games and school activities. My four oldest grandchildren (ranging in age from 8-19) all graduated from MCC and Brooklyn (3) is in Nursery I this year. How lucky am i?!?!?

  • Sharon Maillet

    MCC has been home for so many years it’s hard to think of a time when it wasn’t part of my life. It’s a joy to walk down the hallway every day to peek into windows and doorways to say hello. The kids’ sweet smiles, hugs, waves, and conversations melt my heart every time. Childhood is so precious; I can’t thank you enough for letting me be a small part of your child’s school story.

    My story started in Waltham where I grew up. There will always be a smile in my heart when I think of the red brick elementary school, with the big weeping willow out front, where my love for school began. And my love for books! In third grade, Miss Bonica introduced me to the wonderful world of Zuckerman’s farm and the sweet characters who lived there and just down the road. Charlotte’s Web, and a special teacher, started me on a road that took me all the way to Medfield after graduating from Framingham State University with a degree in education. It was back to FSU a few years later to earn a master’s degree in special education, and after that a director’s course at Dean College.

    Once I entered MCC’s doors 32 years ago, I was home. After years as a PreK and Nursery teacher, I became director and moved a few steps out of the classroom and into the office where I have the best view in the world. My office window looks into the classroom where I see the smiles, hear the laughter, and eavesdrop on the sweetest conversations.

    My other home is in Hopedale where my husband and I cherish every moment with our sons, both MCC graduates. It’s hard to believe, but Josh graduated and is off on an adventure to UNOH and Brandon is a fifth grader. We also have a dog, Shadow, who adds more energy and love to our family.

    Hi everyone! My name is Delia Davis and this is my fifth year as a part of the MCC family. I graduated from Saint Anselm College in 2020 with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and have always enjoyed working with children. I am a former MCC student myself so I can attest that this is the best preschool around! I love the welcoming community of teachers, students and families that surrounds me each day! When I am not in the classroom I enjoy being a social butterfly! I love to surround myself with friends and family… and my cats! I also enjoy traveling to some of my favorite spots in New England: Provincetown Cape Cod and Newfound Lake, New Hampshire. I am looking forward to another fabulous year in the infant room!

  • Jess Oehley

    Hi MCC families! My name is Jess and I am so excited to be spending another year at MCC! This will be my seventh year teaching, and my fourth year in the infant room. I have loved the infant/ toddler ages ever since I was little. At family gatherings I was always the ‘ family babysitter’- spending time with the little ones whenever I could! I am looking forward to all this year has in store. It always amazes me how fast the kids learn and grow, it really happens in the blink of an eye! I graduated from Norfolk Agricultural High School in 2015, but am planning on continuing my education in Early Childhood as of now. Aside from children, I also have a strong love for all animals and even pet sit on occasion. The more animals in my life, the better! I grew up on a small farm and now have a fur baby of my own, Barney, as well as our family dog named Seamus! In my spare time Barney and I enjoy going on hikes and various adventures where we can explore! I also enjoy spending ample time with friends and family. I cannot wait to meet all the new MCC families and make some great memories this year!

  • Kristin Beagle

    Kristin Beagle

    Hi! I joined MCC’s infant/toddler room last school year in December and am excited to start this school year again with the infants and toddlers!  It’s so exciting to watch the little ones learn and grow through the year.  I have lived in Franklin for about 5 years with my husband and two children, Giovanna (10) and Harry IV (7).  When I’m not at MCC, I am busy on the field or in the ice rink with Harry, who loves all sports.  Or I am the dance mom cheering at a dance competition with Giovanna, who has been dancing for 6 years.

    I am looking forward to starting the new school year at MCC!

Toddler I Team

  • Liam O'Leary

    Hi Everyone! My name is Liam and it’s my 3rd year at MCC. I was a camp counselor at Medfield Parks and Rec for four years, so I might look familiar if you have older children. I am 23 year-old former MCC student and a lifelong resident of Medfield. I have loved working with kids my whole life, and have spent every holiday watching my little cousins. I’ll be teaching in room #3 (go little bees!) but I look forward to getting to know you all!

I hold an associate's degree in Early Childhood Education from CCRI and plan to continue my studies in the spring of 2025.

  • Polly Stephens

    Hi everyone! My name is Polly. I teach in the Toddler 1 room and this is my first year at MCC. My daughter, Sophie, is in Nursery 1 and we are both very excited to be a part of the MCC family. I have enjoyed spending time with children since I was old enough to babysit. My passion grew during my undergraduate years at Wheaton College where I majored in Psychology and took Early Childhood Education courses. Over the last 15 years I have taught both toddlers and mixed age groups in Concord, MA, Brookline, MA, as well at the MIT Stata Center in Cambridge. While teaching, I love seeing children’s personalities grow and their skills develop throughout the year. I am looking forward to this new experience at MCC. When I’m not in the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my two-year old, doing any kind of art and spending time with friends and family.

Toddler II Team

  • Jess Adams

    Hello everyone! My name is Jess and this will be my sixth-year teaching at MCC in the Toddler program! I absolutely love working with this age group and watching all the toddlers' personalities grow and shine throughout the year! I have always loved kids since I was young and it is my passion to be able to teach this age. I have achondroplasia dwarfism, which just means that I have shorter arms and legs than that of an average person. This however does not interfere with my daily life and I do not let it affect my ability to complete the task at hand. I graduated from Norfolk County Agricultural High School and studied Veterinary Science. Along with my passion for kids, I have a love for animals too, and have a yellow lab named Gus at home. My family owns a flower and greenhouse center which I work at part time and I love designing and arranging different floral bouquets! I am very excited for another year at MCC and cannot wait to watch the kiddos learn and grow each day!

  • Judy Marston

    Hello Everyone! My name is Judy and I am looking forward to another year at MCC. This will be my sixth year teaching in the Toddler II classroom. I love teaching this age group as it is so rewarding to see the children as they grow and develop. There is such a difference in the children from when they start with us over the summer to when they finish out the school year. I am also Lead Teacher and Director certified. I began my teaching in the Mansfield public schools, where I was a paraprofessional in grades K-2. I live in Mansfield with my husband Larry and my daughter Dylan. Dylan is currently a junior at Sacred Heart University in Connecticut. She has also started her fourth summer at MCC working in the different classrooms. I am excited for another year and to meet all of you and your littles.

  • Morgan MacLean

    Hello everyone! My name is Morgan and this will be my fifth year at MCC. I am grateful to have the amazing opportunity to bond with some of the youngest members of our community and watch their personalities bloom throughout our time together. I especially love sharing my excitement for art, reading, and nature with your children and to encourage them to embrace what they love too! We always have FUN in the Little Dinos Room!

    Since starting my career here, I have received my A.A in Early Education and am now fully credentialed by the department of EEC. This year I am furthering my education by participating in a leadership apprentice program.

    When I am not at MCC, I am making art, reading, playing D&D and video games, and spending time with loved ones. I am looking forward to another wonderful year at MCC! See you all soon!

  • Katie Silvestri

    Hi everyone! My name is Katie Silvestri! I am a senior at Dean College in Franklin, and I am working to earn my bachelor’s degree in early childhood education. I have always loved working with children and teaching them new things.  It is so rewarding to watch them grow, learn and reach developmental milestones every day. I grew up in North Attleboro MA. On my free time I love to hang out with my friends, family and my boyfriend, and I love to go shopping! I also love to travel. I am so excited for a new school year at MCC!

Nursery I Team

  • Bonnie Corlitto

    Hi families! My name is Bonnie and this will be my 6th year teaching at MCC! I am excited to be teaching another year with the Nursery 1 team (room 10). Prior to Nursery 1, I worked in the infant/toddler program. I love to see the growth and development the kids make throughout the year especially with this age group! Since starting at MCC, I have continued my education and am now Director 1 certified. I live in Mansfield with my family which includes my husband Rob, my son Adam who is a recent Berklee College of Music grad, and my daughter Alyssa who will be a junior at UMass Amherst. I am looking forward to another great year at MCC!

  • Kacey Holland

    Hi everyone! My name is Kacey and this year will be my third year teaching in the Nursery I Class (room #10)!! I have had an absolute amazing time with this age group and they truly bring a smile to my face every day. I feel as though in these past years working at MCC full time I have learned so much and love bringing all of my knowledge and passion into the class. I graduated from Saint Anselm College in 2022 with a double degree in Criminal Justice and Business. During my time at SAC is when I realized that I missed the kiddos at MCC when I wasn’t working and wanted to work there once I graduated. So I slapped on a Business degree, hoping it would help my mom in running MCC, and changed my career path! Throughout the years I’ve taken many child development classes and am now Lead Teacher both in Infant/Toddler and Preschool and Director II certified through the EEC. Along with that I took a year-long director’s course  to further my education on how to best run a preschool and be the best director I can be. It taught me so much and I’m so glad I was able to take part in that apprenticeship through Neighborhood Villages. 

    If I’m not at work you could most likely find me driving around in my car listening to all kinds of music (The Beatles, Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Noah Kahan, etc.), reading books (usually a mystery/thriller, romance, fantasy, etc.), or just hanging out with my family and friends.  

  • Linda McCarthy

    Hi Everyone!

    My name is Linda and I am so excited to be joining the Nursery 1 team this year alongside Miss Bonnie and Miss Kacey! I first started as an assistant teacher at MCC for many years but got fully certified as a teacher after graduating from UMass Amherst. This will be my second year teaching in the nursery program. I love working with this age and seeing all of their personalities come out as the year goes on! When I am not at MCC, I enjoy spending time with my two dogs Wally and Lincoln and I love to go skiing in Vermont in the winter. I’m looking forward to another fun year year at MCC!

Nursery II Team

  • Nick Holland

    Hi everyone! I have been working at MCC on and off for the last 16 years. I initially started out only working in the summer and after school while in high school, and then during the summers while back from college where I received my MBA in 2017 from Quinnipiac University. Ever since coming back from school I have been working full time and been really loving my time here. I will continue to be in the Nursery 2 classroom this year with Ms. Erin and Ms. Lyndsey. You probably also will see me most days sitting up front in the office during the afternoons. I am a big fan of all things Boston sports, and am also a huge Arsenal fan. I can’t wait to have a great year with all of our new friends!

  • Erin Grady

    Hello! My name is Ms. Erin and I cannot believe that Medfield Children’s Center has been my home for 10 years now! I am one of the Nursery II teachers in Room #11. This age group is my favorite because I love seeing the personalities beginning to form in each child. It’s wonderful getting to be a part of that journey for them. We love taking the children's interests and letting that guide us in becoming better educators. My favorite projects to work on with the kids are ones where they create art together to make something really big. I love seeing the creativity flow during projects like our classroom butterfly, space murals, etc. We are all about process art and collaborating here! I always like to tell the kids that "art is messy". I am also the MCC Director in the PM so if you see me hanging around in other classrooms during the afternoons it’s because I am just visiting. I love being the PM Director because I get to know all of the kids in other classrooms! I grew up in Franklin with my sister and parents, but I now live in North Attleboro with my husband Leo! When I am not at MCC you can usually find me watching movies, reading, playing video games, and spending time with friends & family. I also love to spend as much time as possible with our three-legged cat named Trixie! We adopted her in March, and she is amazing.

    There are three things that our MCC families know about me:

    1. I love superheroes (especially Marvel)

    2. I love Star Wars (so much that I got married on 5/4/24- May the 4th Be With You!)

    3. Dance parties are a must!

  • Lyndsey Honor

    Bonjour (Hello)! My name’s Lyndsey, and this will be my first year with MCC. I’ve always been passionate about working with kids, but teaching wasn’t on my radar until my post-grad. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Writing from Ithaca College after yearning to build a career that honored my creative instinct. Upon graduation, I was presented with the opportunity to teach English in France, so I packed up in September 2023, flew across the world into a completely foreign environment, and served as a teaching assistant in Nantes until this April 2024. I may have been in the front of the classroom, but my students were the true teachers. They taught me more about myself and about the process of teaching than I taught them of English, and I finally have the confidence to chase becoming a teacher. I’m always more than happy to share my experiences with anyone who asks. Now I’m here, and I’m super excited to start my first year as a teaching assistant in the states. You can find me in Room #11 with Erin, Nick, and the Nursery II students. Salut (Cheers) to a fantastic 2024-2025!

  • Ada Jimenez

    Hello friends & families of Medfield Children's Center. My name is Mrs. Ada and I moved to Medfield a year ago. Let me just say I have no regrets and I love the community and the peace here. I have 3 beautiful Children 23, 22, 15 yrs old and a fur-baby (Siberian Husky) named Saul. I am bilingual in English & Spanish, from Puerto Rico. Hopefully I can teach my class a few Spanish words. I’ve always been in the medical field because I have a passion for caring for others. Being a Teacher assistant is a big game changer for me but I know and feel like I’m in the right place because being around kids brings  joy and happiness to my days. Fun fact about me: I am a kid at heart when I am around children. All the precious faces that walk through the doors of MCC motivate me to come to work everyday.

PreK I Team

  • Courtney Zahner

    Hi everyone! I’m Ms. Court, and I teach PreK here at MCC. It’s my 6th year at MCC, and I can’t imagine being anywhere else. With 24 years of teaching, I have taught in both public and private school settings; teaching PreK, kindergarten and first grade. I received my bachelor's degree from Framingham State and my master’s degree from Wheelock College. I love teaching and creating opportunities where the children learn through play and explore the world at their own pace. I teach with a sense of humor and build engaging activities where the children have fun learning. 😊 At home, I am married to my amazing husband Paul and have an 12-year-old son Jake.

  • Mary Hanley

    Hi! My name is Mary Hanley (aka Miss Mary) and this is my fifth-year teaching at MCC. You'll find me down in Room 6 with Miss Court & Miss Lisa! I graduated from Dean College in 2020 with an associate’s degree in early childhood education. Our top priority is for the kids to love their uniqueness and to always be kind to others! Coming in everyday with a smile and positivity sets the tone of the classroom for our youngsters to blossom! Besides teaching tiny humans another passion of mine is dancing. I have choreographed for musicals such as Chicago and Anastasia for the Y institute in Mansfield. Which is why you'll see me in the classroom doing music and movement with the kiddos. Getting our boogie on! Fun facts about me, my favorite band is The Beatles and I love to go country line dancing every Wednesday! I am so glad to be a part of this wonderful community and can't wait to meet everyone! Here’s to a fantastic school year!

  • Lisa Pease

    Hello! I am a seasoned preschool teacher of 28 years. I truly enjoy helping children learn every day and achieve goals through many hands-on learning experiences and fun exploration! Teaching in PreK I is so rewarding, I get to work with Ms. Mary and Ms. Court where we bounce ideas constantly and have fun! I graduated from Mount Ida College with a BA in Early Childhood Education. I continue to expand my learning by taking numerous classes to keep my knowledge of Early Childhood current as things change. I am the mother of twins who are 20 years old and achieving their future goals of studying in college and the trades. I believe in helping others and do so by sponsoring a 17-year-old girl from Zimbabwe Africa, where life is difficult. Sending her letters and receiving letters back is rewarding! In my free time I enjoy all Boston sports, Patriots being my favorite, road trips, York Beach, ME, taking hikes with my beagle dog Pumpkin and time with friends. I feel fortunate to be part of the MCC family and teach with a great staff. I look forward to creating a positive learning experience for each child

PreK II Team

  • Natasha Stevens

    Hello Families! I am so excited to be returning for my sixth year at MCC! Although this is only my sixth year at MCC, I have 30 years of teaching experience. The past sixteen of those years have been spent teaching preK. My experience in the preschool world is varied! Before coming to MCC, I taught at a preschool in Holliston for eleven years where I filled many roles including; Art teacher, Workshop coordinator and teacher, Children’s Literature teacher, preK Lead teacher and Assistant to the Director.

    I am a graduate of Framingham State University where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Secondary Education.

I live in Holliston, my family includes my husband Nick (better known as Mr. Stevens to all you Wheelock families!), my grown children Becca(23) and Brady(20), and our two cats Suki and Grey. I love all creatures big and small and would probably own a zoo if I could! Other than enjoying the wildlife in my backyard, I love photography, gardening, reading, going on hikes, spending time in Maine and having fun with family and friends.

    I absolutely love teaching at MCC! I love seeing smiling faces, hearing giggles and laughter, and being part of it all every day. Helping children learn, discover, and grow emotionally as well as academically is incredibly rewarding to me. I look forward to another amazing year at MCC!

  • Janet Danish

    Hi everyone, I am Mrs. Danish. I am so excited and lucky to be a part of the wonderful MCC family. It has truly been a blessing. This will be the start of my 6th year teaching in the Pre-K room and my 20th year teaching this age group. Prior to MCC, I spent 14 years teaching at Holliston Christian Preschool. Pre-K is my favorite age group to teach because I love seeing their smiling faces and fostering their enthusiasm for learning. The pure joy on their faces when they complete a task/project, build a creation, or simply learn to write their name, warms my heart!! Next to being a mom, it is the greatest job in the world!! When I am not at MCC, I spend time with my family, which consists of my husband, Raymond, our three adult daughters, Kimberly, Nicole, Stephanie and our two cats Cagney and Lacey. One of my favorite things to do is spend time in Vermont. It is our happy place!

If you’re new to MCC, welcome to the family! This year, after 13 years in Nursery 1, I have “graduated” to Pre-K as an afternoon teacher. I’m looking forward to spending more time with my kids who are moving up from Nursery 1 as well as new friends. My goal is to create a fun and structured environment where the kids can thrive socially and academically. Most importantly, we want the kids to be happy here and to love their time at school. For those of you who don’t know me, I have raised two daughters (Lauren and Maddy) in Medfield.

Junior-K Team

  • Cailyn Murphy

    Hi everyone, my name is Cailyn, or as those under the age of 6 know me, Miss Cailyn. It’s hard to believe that this will be my 15th (!!!!!!) year teaching at MCC, and 10th teaching in the Jr. K classroom, where does the time go?? Growing up right around the corner in Norfolk, I then ventured off to Curry College where I received my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. In addition I also went on to receive a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and Teaching from the American College of Education, a place where I continue to be involved in alumni activities & joined the peer mentor program as an online mentor. This fall I will also be heading back to my roots @ Curry College, to work as an online education consultant, providing upcoming education majors with any and all support they may need! As a teacher it has always been my goal to create a warm, welcoming, and comfortable environment in which children are encouraged to learn and grow together while exploring their surroundings. An enthusiastic child at heart, I love creating new and exciting curriculum that caters to each child’s unique needs; I am always searching for that next teachable moment!! Looking forward to seeing what this busy year has in store!!

  • Nichole Jackman

    Hi everyone! My name is Nichole Jackman, also known as Miss Nichole, to the kiddos in Jr. K in room 8! This will be my fifth year with MCC. I originally studied Dance Education and Performance with the Joan Phelps Palladino School of Dance, at Dean College. I fell in love with teaching when I first joined the field as an assistant preschool teacher in 2006. I quickly then became certified, and have been teaching ever since! In addition to teaching Jr. K, I also teach dance, right across the street at Mass Motion Dance in Medfield! I grew up in Dover, and still live in the area! I’ve been dancing practically my whole life (since the age of 3), and love to incorporate it in the classroom as well. I am an avid sports fan too! I also really enjoy anything that involves the outdoors, live music, and cooking. I’ve always enjoyed working with children from a young age, and am truly lucky to have a career I love, and am passionate about. I am so looking forward to getting to know all of you, and your wonderful children this 2024-2025 school year!

Half-Day Team

  • Jeanne Baker

    I am delighted to be returning to Medfield Children’s Center for my 22nd year. My teaching experience began at the University of New Hampshire as I majored in Education and Psychology. From there I continued my focus on working with young children at the Chestnut Hill School where I taught Pre-K for ten years. Once settled in Medfield my four children were fortunate enough to begin their educational journey at MCC. When a position opened this gave me the opportunity to get back into the classroom. I love that no single day in the classroom is the same. I learn from the children every day and admire them for their endless energy, honesty, creativity, and eagerness to learn. I look forward to supporting each child in their natural development while fostering their love for learning. Outside of MCC, my husband, Eric, and I enjoy spending time with our children and extended family.

  • Sheila Sullivan

    I am so excited to return to Medfield Children’s Center for my 20th year! Each September, I look forward to greeting 24 new nursery friends and welcoming back our 24 pre-k friends! It is a pleasure to go to work every morning, encouraging the curiosity and excitement that these young minds bring to our classroom every day! As a Medfield native, it was an easy decision to return to my hometown and raise our four children - three of whom are MCC alums! Now that our children are grown, I am so lucky to be able to experience all the amazing wonders of three, four and five year-old children each day! Through years of experience, with limitless patience and understanding, we model and encourage the development of your child’s positive social behavior and self-confidence! I am thrilled to work with your children as they begin their schooling experience!

  • Kristin Henry

    My name is Kristin Henry and I cannot believe this is my 9th year in room #9 at Medfield Children's Center. I live in Medfield with my husband Brian, and our two children, William and Reidy. When I am not at MCC you can typically find me on a sports field, reading a book or researching a family outing. I am thrilled to be back for another wonderful year and look forward to watching your children learn and grow.

    Hi everyone, my name is Ashley Macharia and I'm so excited to be working at MCC! Currently I am a sophomore at Medfield High School. I moved to Medfield a little under two years ago and I live right near MCC. Ever since I stepped into the building I've met nothing but warm and welcoming people. I've had so much fun working at MCC so far, getting to know the kids has been the absolute highlight of my year. It is such a loving and fun community and I couldn't love it more. Can't wait to continue in this environment!

    Hi my name is Brian Mullis and I am entering my sophomore year at Medfield High this fall. My sister Faith has been in Room 9 at MCC for the past three years and has loved it. I have three younger siblings, lots of younger cousins and love to hang out with kids! I am excited to start my career at MCC this summer. I enjoy lacrosse and all sports. I love to play with my dog Zoe and to ride my bike. I can't wait to have a blast with all the kids this summer!!
