A Few Words From Us...

 "Hello, my name is Heather Ouellette I am a married mother with 4 children. All aged between 9 and 20. I started working at the Center when it was known as North Conway Daycare Center. I was an assistant  and worked my way up to preschool teachers. I am a Math class way from my associates degree in Early Childhood Education. I took over as Director 3 years ago and have been apart of the great changes to becoming Vaughan Learning Center. In my spare time when I'm not working I have a love for the outdoors. I spend much of my time in my gardens during the summer and on snowshoes in the winter. I love children and all of the wonder they are still full of. "
