I've been an employee for 33 years and started at Franklin when they added a children’s fun and fitness center which is now the Academy. I'm very grateful to have been able to start the one room childcare 30 years ago and then grow the program along with the Jr. Programming department for the Athletic Club. I love my job and feel blessed to be able to work with our amazing students and families!

I love to see the children’s personalities and knowledge blossom! I started at the Academy eight years ago in the toddler room, but since then have worked in each classroom and am now the Assistant Director. I am the proud mom of three kids, two of which have gone through the Academy.

I've been with Franklin Academy for 13 wonderful years! I've worked in classrooms, and am currently the Office Manager in charge of enrollments and billing. I've also taught many enrichments classes over the years, from sign language, to art, to music and drama. Both of her children have attended Franklin Academy, too.

I love working with children because there's not a day that goes by that you don't smile while watching them grow and develop.

I absolutely love working at the academy because they provide such a variety of activities most places don't have for the children.

I love working here because everyone is so nice and the children are amazing! My daughter comes here with me and I bring my son when he's out of school. Children are my passion and I love watching them grow.

Every day is a new adventure with teaching. I love to make a difference through kids because they're our future.

I enjoy working here because they offer many different enrichment opportunities for the children. The children are excited and happy which is a joy to see. 

I love working with kids because they're fun to be around and I have an excuse to be a complete man-child during the day. I love working at the academy because my coworkers are great and my bosses have been extremely kind and acommodating to me!

Getting to watch and help kids learn and grow on the day to day basis is a wonderful experience, and I am so thankful I have the opportunity to be here. The different personalities and ages in children are a joy to watch and see them develop.

I am the Caterpillar teacher and have been a part of the Academy for 7 years. My son and daughter attend Franklin Academy and it has been a wonderful experience watching them grow mentally and physically.  They both love the gymnastics program and the other enrichments.

I feel so blessed to work at Franklin Academy preschool. We are a fun team of teachers. I love seeing in the Caterpillar  classroom the 3 and 4 year olds forge new friendships and blossom.

I have been a Early Educator for 5+ years. It is a passion that I fell into on accident when I decided to go back to school later in life. Being part of the children's growth and development is an opportunity that I am proud of. All children deserve a safe, engaging, and equitable chance to learn and grow into even more wonderful people.

I like working at the Academy because there are so many extracurricular opportunities for the students. I love seeing how excited they get when it is time to learn something new.

My favorite thing about teaching is watching my student’s become more confident in who they are and what they can do.

I'm grateful to be a part of the Academy and being able to see all the special and unique personalities being enhanced through education.

My background is in dance and my passion is fitness and kids. I am a camp director and enjoy planning the kids events here at Franklin Athletic Club.

I enjoy watching the kids learn and being able to teach them new things. They are always a bright spot in my day!

I love working with kids and watching them grow, I have been coaching gymnastics for 18 years and started a program here 7 years ago. I am also the yoga instructor for the preschool and the adults at Franklin Athletic club I am the camp Director and enjoy planning memorable moments!

It is great to see the children grow and to support them in developing their own personality. My daughter went to the academy for 2 years and she had a great time. She always smiled when she got picked up.

I like teaching because the children inspire creativity, energy, and individuality. It is a true joy to be a part of their growth and development throughout the year.

I enjoy working with children and being able to make a difference. It is so rewarding putting a smile on everyone's face.  Children are our future leaders. I couldn't see myself doing anything else in the world.
