Ms. Mary started at Country Kids in 2007 as a float aide assisting teachers in all of our classrooms.  Most of the day she can be found in the infant room helping Ms. Cathy with all the babies.  Ms. Mary enjoys guiding the younger children as they discover play.  She likes spending time on the floor teaching an infant how to play with a toy, whether they are rolling a ball to each other or pushing buttons on an interactive toy. 

Mary and her husband decided to start a family by adopting their first son in 2000, who is now 7 years old.  They added another son to their family in 2005.  The happy parents again flew to Russia to bring home their second child.  The family has created a wonderful loving bond; something Mary and her husband wanted to have in their lives.

Ms. Mary left her medical assistant career to stay home and raise her children.  While caring for her boys at home, Mary got a closer look at language and speech development through an Early Intervention Program offered to her son.  She has always enjoyed working one-on-one with a child to better help their development.

When Ms. Mary is not dedicating her time to our center she can be found at home gardening, working on a craft project, or taking up her entire dining room table with scrap booking materials as she updates her family albums.
