Meet Our Principal: Marybeth Hogan
Hello Little Stars Learning Center Families!
I am originally from a small town close to the New Hampshire border called Tyngsboro. My mom and dad raised me along with my younger brother and sister in a loving environment. We truly made the most of family time together, playing outside, going on yearly camping trips to Maine, and celebrating many special events together. We all are still very close even to this day!
Where I am From: I currently reside in Sandwich, Massachusetts with my husband, Scott, our dog, Nanook, and our son, Scotty when he comes home from college.
My Why? My earliest teaching experiences were volunteering in my Mom’s preschool class where she worked as a paraprofessional with children with special needs. I truly enjoyed helping in her class as well as listening to her tell stories about her Preschool friends. This is when I knew that I wanted to be an educator because I wanted to provide children with educational experiences to foster the skills necessary for a strong foundation in their educational career. As an educator, I also wanted to offer memorable and fun experiences for both children and their families that I had experienced as a mother with my own child and early childhood educator.
Where I’m going: As the principal of Little Stars Learning Center, I look forward to warmly welcoming all families and children, as well as partnering with you as your children grow their love of learning!
Ms. Danielle – “Assistant Principal”
Hello everyone! My name is Danielle and my passion started with children from the day I was born, However, it really sprang into action when I found out I was going to be an auntie at just 11 years old! Now I have 5 nieces and 5 nephew! Ever since then I knew I wanted to be in the field of early education and care and help all the children I can! I am from here born and raised, however my great- grandmother was originally Santa Maria, Cape Verde. I have lived in Hyannis, Centerville, then back to Hyannis. My mom and raised me along with my four older brothers all right in Hyannis, Mass.
I began my educational path in high school when I was able to take some child development courses and graduated in 2011, then worked my way through every position there is! From interning to volunteer work to teacher and more! From high school I went on to Cape Cod Community College to fulfill my associated degree in early childhood development, which I received in 2016. From there I went on to Bridgewater State University where I received my bachelor’s degree in 2019, with a major in ECE and a minor in Child studies. I then went to go for my Master’s, until my mom unfortunately suffered a stroke in June of 2020. From there I left to focus on my mom and help her in whichever way I could. Hopefully I can go back and finish! Eventually, my parents had to move and made their way down to North Carolina, while I stayed here and continued to grow with my job, where I ended up getting promoted to Little Stars Assistant Principal and I couldn’t be more thrilled!
Where I am From:
I am from Hyannis, Massachusetts and currently reside in Hyannis, Massachusetts.
My Why?
Ever since I became an aunt at just 11 years old, I knew this is exactly what I wanted to be doing! I have sure a mother nurturing, calming, but fun side to me that make me very popular with the children, families and staff! As an educator, I want to bring joy, happiness and love out of the children and let them know they are safe and loved! Just hearing “My child loves you” or “Thank you for everything you do”, it is just a reminder of what I do every day and why I do it. And, I have to say: “I do what I love, because I love what I do!”
Where I’m going:
As the Assistant Principal here at Little Stars Learning Center, I look forward to growing connections and bonds with not only the children but the families and teachers as well! I plan someday to open my very own!
Ms. Bobbi – “Administrative Assistant”
Hello! My path in education started by accident! I was volunteering at my child’s school when I discovered that I loved being around children and helping them grow. That’s when my journey began. Little did I know that I would spend the next 10 years of my life in a school working with children and loving every minute of it! In 2018, my husband and I moved to the Cape to be closer to my brother.
After we moved, I took some time off from teaching but missed teaching and being around the children every single day. That’s when I discovered Little Stars Learning Center and applied for a teaching position at the school in February of 2018 when the school opened! Flash forward to now and I am working towards receiving my Lead Teacher Certificate and continuing my education in Early Childhood Development!
Where I Am From: Buckfield, Maine
My Why:
I really love being around children and can’t imagine doing anything else with my life. Children are so open, honest, and excited to learn new things. I feel so blessed to do what do. I want to make our school a safe place for the children as well as their parents and look forward to providing exceptional care for our families each day. I also enjoy talking to the parents at the end of the day and sharing some of the wonderful stories about their children!
Where I am Going:
I am planning on furthering my education in Early Childhood Development and becoming a principal myself one day!
