Gilman St. Staff

My name is Maryah and I am the Site Director of Gilman HalfPints. I have been with HalfPints daycare for a little over 5 years now and have enjoyed watching and helping many student grow and move on to Kindergarten! I have my BHP, and am currently enrolled in KVCC for Early Childhood Education and Child Psychology. I am also underway to become a full CDA with the State of Maine as well. When I'm not at work I am home and enjoying the outdoors with my three children Harlen, Kohen and Anniston. We have a small homestead and tend to many chickens as well as our four horses!
