For those of you that don’t know what the Garrison Center is, it’s a preschool program for students and teachers to tend to their classes and do their labs for the Early Childcare Major.
Students are able to have their children attend the center while they attend class themselves at MWCC. The center is also open to the public. Children must be 2.9 – 5 years of age to attend.
Maureen Provost is an Associate Professor, and the Liaison at the Garrison Center. She has worked at the center for 10 years and has been at the college for 20 years. She has been an adjunct faculty member for her first 10 years at MWCC. She has an educational background of Bachelor of Arts, Elementary, and Early Childcare, Fine Arts at Trinity College in Burlington, VT and Master of Science in Education from University of New England in Biddeford, ME. She also taught in schools of South America and is bilingual. This inspired her to come to the U.S and teach here.
