Assistant Director Hi folks! I'm thrilled to step up as LExD's new Assistant Director! My work with youth centers on creating empowering opportunities through activities and meaningful conversations. I have been teaching in various informal and formal capacities for over a decade, and received my MEd. from Lesley University. At LExD, I strive to create engaging curriculum by drawing from my professional experiences in environmental education, circus arts, and dance.

Director I started with Extended Day in 2006 as a Wolfpack teacher, and have grown so much with this program in those 18 years. I'm excited to move into my fourth year as Director and continue working in a more collaborative administrative capacity with Laura! 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: Tears of the Kingdom on Nintendo Switch ;)

Classroom Coordinator - Beehive Hi, I'm Toby! I'm excited to be back for my fifth year in Beehive and third year as classroom coordinator. I'm looking forward to welcoming new students and sharing my favorite projects, including playing pretend and painting nails. Outside of Extended Day, I enjoy gardening, playing video games, and spending time with my cat, Goblin. I can't wait to share my passion for play, creativity, and collaboration with our incredible students.

Beehive Teacher My name is Theresa and I've been in Early Childhood Education for almost 10 years. I'm originally from RI and started off my career in an at home daycare. I am passionate about messy play learning. I believe that children should be treated as whole people and have the ability to collaborate and problem solve with supports from teachers, guardians and parents. When I am not teaching you can find me spending time with my family as well as my two adorable puppies Ziggy and Nova.

Wolfpack Teacher I've lived in Brookline my whole life. I attended both Lincoln School and Brookline High. I've worked with children from pre-school to eighth grade, and I'm extremely excited to start my first year teaching at Wolfpack. I love athletics, and since I was able to walk I've had a ball, glove or stick in my hands. I currently am training in Muay Thai (Thai boxing). Outside of teaching, I love books, history, cars, motorcycles and motorsports.

Beehive Teacher Hi! My name is Margaret. I am so excited to return to Lincoln Extended Day for my second year as a Beehive teacher!

Classroom Coordinator- Sharktank Hello my name is Hope! This is my fourth year at Lincoln Extended Day! I graduated with a BFA in Theater Performance in my home state of Michigan. I love doing a variety of projects and games that lead the kids to really use their imagination. My favorite is running a Dungeons and Dragons game all year. In my spare time I am usually reading, playing tabletop games, and watching anime :)

Im an artist and designer who enjoys 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 Chase grew up in the woods of upstate New York where they nourished their love of nature and creativity at LARP (live-action role-playing) camp. At Bennington College, Chase studied ceramics, costume design, and literature. Outside of LExD, they enjoy reading suspenseful books, spending time in nature, and making as much art as possible. For the past 2 years running, they have organized the Lincoln Extended Day Creative Showcase. This is their third year as a Wolfpack teacher!

Beehive Teacher AJ Rose is, in some ways, the tallest child at Lincoln Extended Day. He previously worked as a youth sports coach at Viking Sports, and is starting his third year in the Beehive division of LED. He enjoys dancing and singing with the kids, and doing various active projects in the gym and the schoolyard. AJ’s method of teaching involves lots of positive reinforcement, laughter, and encouraging the kids to consider each other when they make decisions.
