I’ve worked for Bobbie Noonan’s Child Care for 26 years. I love what I do! I taught 3’s and 4’s for 17 years before working in the office. I enjoy going to work every day to see my students, parents and co-workers. (We are like a little family.) As a director you wear many hats, but it’s a great adventure every day and I wouldn’t have it any other way. – Debbie Ryan
