Infant Teachers
Megan Kelly
My name is Megan Kelly. I am from and currently reside in Auburn, Ma. I have an amazing husband and two beautiful children, Braiden and Grace. I have been with Growing Footprints since 2016. I am certified across the board, but infants has always been my home. Watching children learn and grow is an extremely precious thing, to be apart of that process personally is a dream come true. Having a bond with these amazing children, that start in infants and grows throughout their time here is so fulfilling.
In my spare time I enjoy reading and spending as much time with my family as possible. |

My Name is Leah Hackett. I am a mother of 3 children, two boys and a girl. I have been with Growing Footprints since June of 2017. I started in the Toddler 2 program as a full time teacher and in February of 2019 I made the decision to move into the Infant program as a full time teacher along side of Miss Megan. It is rewarding being able to have a job that I love and truly enjoy. Being able to watch these children grow into little toddlers is the best experience. I look forward to being able to learn more about each child and having the chance to meet new families!

Krystal Ruzzoli

My name is Miss Krystal and I am from Southbridge, MA. I have been with Growing Footprints since May of 2015. I started off as a part time teacher in the preschool room, and in February of 2016, I became the full time toddler 2 teacher.Then in June of 2018 I became the full time junior preschool teacher, and as of September 2019, I am a preschool teacher. Teaching preschool has always been a passion of mine. I love watching the children explore through play and watching them grow to become independent little people.
I am Lead teacher certified across the board to work with infants through age five, and I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I studied at Quinsgamond Community College, where I received my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education.
I have two daughters, LillyAnn and Riley, and being their mother is the best thing to happen to me. I am a huge (slightly obsessed) Snow White fan and The Nightmare Before Christmas fan. In my free time I like to spend time with my little girls, dancing, singing (of course my daughters are much better) and reading lots of books.
