Annette Richter, Director

Dear Growing Green Families:

I am so thrilled to be the Director of Growing Green Child Development Center.  It is truly the most beautiful center I’ve ever seen.  I look forward to leading the Growing Green Team and ensuring that your child has a wonderful experience while attending our center.

I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in social work and my first professional job was as a Children’s Advocate at a shelter for battered women.   I spent seven years in social work and then started a home-based business working with both children and adults.  In 2004, I entered the wonderful world of early childhood education!  I have worked as an infant & toddler teacher, as well as a preschool and school-age teacher. I enjoyed working with each of the age groups as they each offered their own unique joys and challenges.  In 2008, I received my master’s degree in business management with the goal of eventually becoming the Director of an early childhood program.

Early childhood years are so important to a child’s growth and development and I take my role as an early childhood educator very seriously.  I am so excited to work in conjunction with the Growing Green teachers to ensure that your child has a rewarding, nurturing, and exciting educational experience at the center.  Working with children brings me such happiness!  I hope all of the parents will be able to see this spirit of joyfulness throughout the center.  I want to encourage each one of you to come to me with concerns or issues regarding your child.  I also love to hear positive feedback as well! I look forward to getting to know all the wonderful families at Growing Green!

Sincerely,

Annette Richter, BSW/MS
