Marie Branch
Hello! I am Marie , and am very happy to be starting my third year at WCCC. I have been a floating teacher at Fiske, Bates, and currently at Schofield. I have a bachelor’s degree in elementary education, and certifications in Special Education and English as a second language. I enjoy STEM activities, art projects, and the creative play ideas children engage in every day.In my spare time, I have adventures with my two grandsons, ages three and seven. I also take karate lessons, and love to read, hike, and watch the Celtics! I look forward to a wonderful year getting to know you and your children.

I graduated from Wellesley High School in 2016 and UMASS Boston in 2021. I am continuing my education. I have always loved working with kids. There is always so much more to learn and I am very excited to continue my teaching career at WCCC. In teaching, I try my best to make at least one new connection, with a different child, each day. I am incredibly happy that my journey through WCCC came full circle. I have lived in Wellesley my whole life, and as a child I attended both the ECP as well as the ASP. I can still remember how wonderful my teachers were to me, and how lucky I was to have them. With that in mind, I will strive to make a similar lasting impact on each and every child I work with. In my free time I enjoy being with family, watching and playing all kinds of sports. I have bundles of energy so I love being active. I love going to Lake Winnipesaukee–my favorite place in the world, in the summertime. Boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming and fishing are some of my favorite activities.
