We love Amanda and so thankful for her hard work at the lodge after working a full day at Carousel! Good job Amanda! We are so proud of you!

Edit: Amanda will be in Nature Nook, but still so excited to work with each and every child in the center!
Get to know Amanda! Amanda will be
teaching the Nature Nook class at the new center. Amanda is currently in her second year of attaining her early childhood degree while working two jobs and being our favorite handy woman!😉

Here is what Amanda Paplow said about herself and why she loves teaching:

"I have a corgi named Finlee and a cat named Bob. I have nicknames at work including handy manda and spider monkey. I have been a type one diabetic for 23 years!

I love the bonds I form with the kids and I truly love them like my own. Being able to be a part of their growing and learning has been such a blessing the last three years and I’m excited to continue my education to help future children at carousel as well!"
