About Marissa

I have worked in childcare for a few years and wear many hats! I started by becoming the food service coordinator at a local childcare center in Ballard. This entails planning meals for AM and PM for ages 2yr-12yr. I plan, shop and prepare everything right in the classroom kitchen in accordance with CACFP. I prepare for 80-100 kids per day. Shortly after making my way into the childcare world I was given the opportunity to start helping in the classrooms. I help plan end execute play- based learning, STEM, art, dramatic play, reading and all the good stuff! I led the planning of the annual art show including projects, design, food and entertainment. I currently spend my day Pre-k and K-1 balancing back and forth between meals. It is very important to me that any child I spend time with whether it be my nieces and nephew or my students I provide a safe and creative space.
