Our Teachers

Education Coordinator
Miss Lisa began working at the BMTCP in 1993. Previously she worked as a substitute teacher in various school systems, as well as working at and later running her own home daycare. In 2001 Miss Lisa became the head teacher expanding her responsibility to curriculum development and planning, and staff leader.
Miss Lisa has a BS in Early Childhood/Elementary Education with a concentration in Language Arts from Rhode Island College. She is RIDE certified grades Nursery - 2. Continuing education is important to Miss Lisa and she has taken numerous graduate courses in the early childhood field, and regularly participates in a variety of professional development opportunities.
"The co-op offers children a warm, loving environment featuring a developmentally appropriate curriculum guided by the RI Early Learning Standards. Special attention is given to every child's learning style and individual developmental level. Parents are very involved at the co-op and work together, as a team, with our nurturing, experienced staff to provide a positive preschool experience for your child."

Ann Marie (Miss Nanny) is joining BMTCP this school year. Ann Marie has been part of our extended ‘family’ for the past three years while her granddaughter Callie attended our co-op. She will be working with Miss Monique and Miss Heather in our four-year-old class.
Ann Marie comes to us with over 30 years of teaching experience from the Johnston and West Warwick School Systems where she taught Kindergarten.
She received her BA in Education from the former Mount St. Joseph’s College and her MA in Education/Administration from Providence College.
“Teaching, guiding, and working with children is an amazing, rewarding, and satisfying experience that I will never grow tired of.” "I am very excited to be a member of the BMTCP family and looking forward to a wonderful year."

Lead Teacher
Miss Heather joined us at the Co-op in 2012. Her daughter, Teaghan, attended the Co-op for two years. Heather teaches with a sense of joy and excitement every day. You can see the joy of teaching and excitement of learning reflected in our children and teachers, families, and friends. "It is truly a magical place!"
"Every day has its memorable moments but one particularly memorable moment happened this spring. The caterpillars that we had been taking care of had turned into butterflies and so it was time to release them. Ms. Patty carefully held the little butterfly in her hand as all the children listened to her explain what she was going to do. And then, the release! Every single pair of eyes on that playground watched as the butterfly flew up into the sky and the smiles of joy and wonder on their faces (including Ms. Patty's) was something I will never forget."

Miss Marilyn works with Miss Susan's 3-year-old and Pre-K classes. She has been teaching at the Co-op since 1979.
What Miss Marilyn likes most about teaching at the co-op is watching the children grow and being a small part of their experience here. Miss Marilyn uses her patience, dedication, and genuine love for the children to make the school day a positive experience for everyone.
"Your conversation with Miss Marilyn will always end with a smile." - Vinnie (parent)
