Meet Our Director
Hi, I’m Mariann, the Center Director at ABC Academy – Jackson College Center! I dedicated my career to early childhood education, beginning my journey in 1986. I joined ABC Academy in 1992 as a Lead Teacher and Toddler Curriculum Coordinator before moving into leadership roles. In 1997, I became the Center Director at our Jackson College location, a center that has always held a special place in my heart. Throughout my career, I have also served as a GSRP Director and Executive Director. I am so excited to return to Jackson College and continue making a positive impact on the lives of children, families, and staff. My greatest joy is watching children learn, grow, and light up with excitement as they discover something new!
