Drop Off Programs
Join us for our in demand drop-off programs, including Schools' Out Day Camps and Date Nights!
We all need a bit of time back to ourselves, whether it’s time for some self-care or just to sit in a silent room for 3 hours.
It’s time for you to do you.
Meet Our Teachers!
Katie O’Brien, Head Teacher
Katie has been pivotal to the Village Playspace’s Enrichment Programs. She helped develop and kick off our Drop-Off Programs and Enrichment Classes. She leads our assistant teachers and creates all our lesson plans for Play School, Day Camps and Summer School.
Katie has 10 years of experience as an infant and toddler preschool teacher. She has taken the past few years off from working in a classroom to spend time with her 4 year old son.
We are thrilled to have her in our Village. Our kids love her and yours will too!
Brooke Testa, Assistant Teacher
We are excited to welcome Brooke to our enrichment team!
Brooke received her Bachelors of Science from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Health Sciences. She is currently an occupational therapy graduate student at Salem State University. She brings several years of childcare experience with her and a deep passion for helping children thrive in all areas of development. She has experience working with infants, toddlers, and young children in public schools, as well as providing specialized care for those with individualized needs. Brooke's nurturing approach and hands-on expertise ensures that each child is supported in developing the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social skills they need to succeed.
