Director I started with Extended Day in 2006 as a Wolfpack teacher, and have grown so much with this program in those 15 years. I'm excited to move into my new role as Director and continue working in a more collaborative administrative capacity with Colette! That doesn't mean I don't love working with the kids when I get the chance (which, luckily, is often!) At home, I'm a jewelry designer, food enthusiast, and bunny-parent who loves to play Zelda: Breath of the Wild ;)

Assistant Director Hi y’all! My name is Colette and I am excited to join the Lincoln Extended Day community as the new AD this Fall! I recently graduated Boston University with my masters in Social Work and although this is my first year working with Extended Day I have spent most of my career working with youth both as an educator and administrator. When I am not working, I like to express myself through writing, playing the ukulele (poorly) and going on hikes.

Beehive Teacher Hello, I'm Juanita! I am so excited to be starting up with Extended Day, I am a writer, coffee snob, and love my precious cat to bits. I love kids, especially when I get to write, get crafty, and generally be creative with them. I am also a lifelong Girl Scout and am looking forward to teaching the Beehive all my favorite silly camp songs. When not working with kids I love long car rides, reading, and getting lost in the sunflowers.

Beehive Teacher I started at Extended Day as a sub way back in 2016 when I was working as an aide at the Lincoln School. Having graduated from sub to full-time teacher, I'm very excited to be returning for my fourth year with Beehive! I love doing music and art-related projects, and sometimes I bring my previous work experience as a "clue master" at Escape the Room Boston to design puzzle-based treasure hunts. In my spare time I like to listen to records, read, and play the rock and roll music.

I’m from Michigan where I got my BFA in Theater Performance, but had recently moved up from Florida. I’m so very excited to experience seasons again! When not working with kiddos you can catch me playing table top games, reading, sewing, and singing musical theater songs at the top of my lungs!

Classroom Coordinator - Wolfpack Hello! This is my 5th year at Extended Day and I love this job so much. I believe play is the most important thing for growth, empathy and happiness (kids and adults!) and this job is the perfect environment for it. I enjoy game creation, gym games and treasure hunts. In my free time I love reading fantasy fiction, wild swimming and working on my many art projects.

Wolfpack Teacher I am so excited to be working with Wolfpack this year! I grew up in the woods of upstate New York where I developed my love for nature and storytelling going to a Live-action Roleplaying summer camp called The Wayfinder Experience.

I graduated from Bennington College in 2020 with a BA in Literature, where I also studied costume design.
