With 3l years of teaching experience at MFCP and a genuine love for early childhood development, I am in my happy place at MFCP. I hold a degree in early childhood education and have built my career working with children through hands-on experiences, exploration, and imaginative play. Along with my role as a 4s teacher, I also lead our Capitalize program, which provides individualized instruction that enhances our 4s and Pre-K curriculums. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, gardening, shopping,
and spending time with my family and friends. I am excited for a new year of discovery, learning and growth with your children!

Debby is my name, and Pre-K is my game! I strive to provide a nurturing and engaging classroom experience for our oldest children at MFCP. I began my career at MFCP in 1999 after earning my Child Development Associate Credential from Norwalk Community College.
In the twenty-seven years spent teaching MFCP children, I have participated in numerous professional development workshops and conferences to stay on top of the latest educational practices. I love teaching Pre-K because we get to spend the year building each child’s confidence and instill a lifelong love of learning. People always say the Pre-K year is a gift and I couldn’t agree more!

It’s hard to believe that this will be my 17th year teaching at MFCP! I have a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. I love being a 4s teacher and take pride in creating a classroom space where laughter and curiosity fill the air. I also teach our enrichment programs – Movement Mondays, CuisinArts, STEAM, and GoGoGeo! I love spending time with my two children, swimming, reading, and being with my family. I look forward to an active year with your children!

I’ve had the privilege of serving as the dedicated school nurse at MCP for the past six years. I’m a registered nurse and graduate from Fairfield University’s School of Nursing. After college, I worked at Hackensack Medical Center in New Jersey and worked as a nurse for Darien Public Schools. My husband and I have lived in Darien for 22 years and have three sons. Our two youngest sons are proud graduates of MCP! Beyond work, I love to cook, play golf, garden and vacation with my family. As I look ahead to the coming year, I’m excited to care for the wonderful students at MFCP.

I am excited to enter my third year in the MFCP community ready to bring my love of learning to young children. I aim to create a safe, welcoming environment that encourages social, emotional, and academic growth. I have my master’s in elementary education from Sacred Heart University and taught at Riverside Elementary in Greenwich for 6 years before taking a break to raise my 3 children. This will be my third year teaching 2 year olds and I love watching them grow! When I’m not in the classroom, I like to garden, bake, and stay active by walking, skiing and attempting golf. I can’t wait to meet your children!

My favorite part of teaching is watching children discover new things every day! Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my longtime boyfriend and our adventurous 2½-year-old daughter. We love swimming, traveling, exploring new places, and making memories together. I can’t wait to laugh, learn, and grow with your child in Pre-K this year!

I’m very excited to start my first year in the MFCP family. With 30 years of childcare experience, my greatest joy is helping little ones grow, learn and thrive through play and creativity! I’ve spent the last 6 years in a preschool classroom, where I love working with toddlers, helping them develop as individuals. Originally from England, I now live in Norwalk with my husband, three children and our two dogs! Family time is my favorite thing and in my spare time I like to stay active, walking our dogs and cheering on my kids from the soccer sidelines!

I can’t wait to learn and grow with you all this year!
