My Story
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 12-year-old daughter. 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.
