We are very particular about our staff.  We understand the importance of our families being able to trust those who are caring for their children.  All of our teaching staff are educated, qualified by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care, and most have college degrees.

Our Teaching Assistants are loving, caring and enthusiastic young women who have found their niche in caring for and playing with your children.  ​

Teaching Staff

Christine Guindon, Owner + Director

I graduated from Framingham State College with a degree in Education.  I went on to teach 8th grade for several years until I left to raise my five children.   Since 2006, The Learning Well has offered social and academic programs for preschool aged children. With the  purchase of our new location in September of 2016, it  was possible to expand the programs I offered to include Infant and Toddler aged children. The Learning Well atmosphere is like no other, you have to see if for yourself to understand.

Bonnie Willis, Teacher

Miss Bonnie is a graduate of Northeastern University with a Marketing degree and worked six years in the corporate world before leaving to raise a family. Miss Bonnie started working as a preschool teacher at The Learning Well in 2009. She now works in our older preschool classroom, getting the children ready for Kindergarten.  One of her favorite things about working with young children is "The love and excitement that they exude and how it makes me feel. They have so much energy and excitement that you can’t help but feel more energetic being around them."
