Welcome to GiggleBugs!!
Thank you for choosing “GiggleBugs Preschool and Infant/Toddler Center”.
We would like to extend a happy Hello to you and your family!! It is our mission to ensure your child’s physical, emotional, intellectual and cognitive wellbeing during the most important years of their lives. Our philosophy is as follows:
Schedule and curriculum based on every child’s ability, is what my philosophy is based on. Every child is different and unique in everything he/she does. It would be inhumane to expect every child to accomplish the same tasks and skills at the same age as each other. Each child should have the opportunity to reach their milestones at their own rate.
Your child will enjoy learning in our learning center type environment. They will learn and explore in areas such as book corner, dramatic play, blocks, housekeeping, small manipulatives, texture tables and arts. Other areas of learning that we will have for them to investigate and enjoy are large muscle equipment, puzzles, games, easel painting, instruments, music, nature, science and more!!
We encourage your child to have fun and learn from their own discoveries and hands-on experiences.
While working individually or in a small group, your child will learn letters, numbers, concepts, self-help skills, colors, shapes and other educational areas.
Emphasis is placed on learning to get along with others, sharing and giving, as well as receiving affection and becoming self-disciplined.
Field trips combined with other daily activities help our preschoolers enter into group discussion, learn to wonder and solve problems within their abilities.
“GiggleBugs ” is a program encompassing all areas of Child Growth and Development.

Preschool Director:
Lindsay Richard
Hello! I’m Lindsay Richard (Director of GiggleBugs). I’m a Professional Childcare Provider, who has been operating Lindsay’s Home Daycare since 2013. I have attended many college classes and workshops in Early Childhood Education and achieved an Infant/Toddler and Preschool Teacher’s Certifications. I also received my Lead Teacher and Director#1and 2 certificates in Early Childhood Education. I have an Associate’s Degree in General Integrated Studies from Holyoke Community College, Holyoke, Ma. (2018). I have the experience of being a parent of a wonderful 13-year-old daughter and married to an amazing man, Ryan. I couldn't have opened the center without him!! I started my time as a Volunteer at Belchertown Community Preschool and landed my first job as an Aid at Cute Kids Preschool. I passed my college courses and received my experience at Cute Kids and accepted my first Preschool/Infant, Toddler Teacher job position. I left there and accepted another Infant Teacher job at Rise and Shine Academy. This is where my goals and dreams started. I knew right then and there that I could own and develop my own Daycare in my home. My new business grew slowly and blossomed, I knew this is what I was supposed to do with my life. The next step and goal was my PRESCHOOL!! I have always had a love for children and to create and secure a happy, learning facility that will educate and develop our children intellectually, emotionally and cognitively. That is my mission.
Lindsay Richard
