Our Staff: Toddler Teachers
Beth Norman
Hi! My name is Beth Norman and I’m currently entering my fourth year at Artisan! This will be my third year as a toddler teacher and second year as a lead teacher. I have also have worked in both the preschool and infant rooms as well. I Love that Artisan has given me the opportunity work with all age groups and I feel that I have become a stronger teacher because of that. Getting to work along side all the incredible teachers on the Artisan team has taught me so much and I can’t wait to keep learning as the years come. I am currently in my final semester at Fitchburg State where I’m working towards my Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary in Education with a minor in psychology. After I graduate I plan on going for my Masters in Guidance. I can’t wait to meet you can help your children learn and grow!
Kaitlin Walsh
Hi, my name is Kaitlin and I’m happy to soon be starting my second year as a toddler teacher at Artisan.
I’ve wanted to be a teacher since I was seven years old, when I would “teach school” to my stuffed animals. At the same time, I’ve always enjoyed helping others and have hoped to make a positive impact on the world. I think being a teacher of young children is the best opportunity to accomplish those goals. I firmly believe that the care and compassion they receive now will translate into care and compassion that they will express in adulthood. The world can use more of that!
I have a liberal arts associate’s degree from NSCC and am looking to further my degree with a focus on early education. My hobbies include reading, photography, and doing crafts. I am a cat lady through-and-through, but love all animals. Feel free to say hello when you see me; I’m easy to identify by my brightly colored hair!
Andrea Tumbarello
Hello! My name is Andrea Tumbarello! I’m so excited to be working at Artisan childcare in Woburn. I have my associates in Early childhood education and have been working with children in different settings since 2014. I am very passionate about childcare and excited that I have the opportunity be a part of their adventure in learning. In my spare time you can find me reading and hanging out with my family.
Courtney Fillebrown
My name is Courtney Fillebrown, I have been with Artisan since December of 2019 and I have loved my time here so far! I have been working in childcare coming up on six years now. I graduated from Wheelock College in 2018 with my bachelor’s degree in counseling psychology. I’ve always had a knack for working with children, it’s what I love to do. I am very visual arts based, so I love lesson planning for activities and projects through which kids can express themselves. My two favorite things about working with kids is their innocence, and watching them develop and overcome obstacles as the days go on. Every child is unique in their own way, and hold a special place in my heart.
