Meet Our New Staff
     
Bridgit Gale is our new Inclusion Specialist.  Bridgit comes from a big family and has always been around kids.  It was natural for her to teach because both of her parents were teachers. She started teaching preschool when she completed college.  Bridgit taught for 10 years before starting her own preschool Busy B's.  As a Teacher/Director she became involved in the SEEC project.  She knows the impact it had on her and her program. She's very excited about the opportunity to do the same for others.
  
Marie Emerson is our new Inclusion Specialist. Marie loves working with and for children.  Marie graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a degree in social work.  Marie has served children and their families with the YWCA, Head Start and the public school system.  Her other careers involved working for an agency assisting adults with developmental disabilities as well as working in retail management  She was also a preschool teacher with Nestle Purina here in St. Louis.  Marie is very excited to be a part of the United 4 Children team.
