Welcome to GiggleBugs, join us to explore our Preschool and Infant/Toddler center
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 well-being during the most important years of their life. 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 they do. Each child should have the opportunity to reach their milestones at their own pace.
Your child will enjoy learning in our learning center-type environment. They will learn and explore in areas such as the book area, dramatic play, blocks, fine and gross motor skills, sensory tables, and art. Other areas of learning we will have for them to investigate and enjoy include puzzles, games, easel painting, 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 about 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.
“GiggleBugs ” is a program encompassing all areas of Child Growth and Development.

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 Certification. 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 being 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 Aide at Cute Kids Preschool. I passed my college courses and gained 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 was 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.
