Wendy Mapstone - Playschool Director

Wendy was raised in Meredith, NH and has been working with children since she was 15 as camp counselor. She attended Nazareth College in Rochester for Art/Elementary education and holds a Master's Degree in Reading from SUNY Cortland. She began the Playschool Program in 1996 with 8 enrolled children as a way to be with her own two children through their preschool experience. Today there are 75 children enrolled in Playschool divided between the preschool and Kindergarten Enrichment program. Wendy says she is, "... always very much amazed at how different each of their minds work and how much they have to offer and contribute. To witness and be a part of their achievements is a great gift."
