Site Coordinator

Sera Papineau


Hello! I am very excited to start my first official school year at WCCC. I have been with WCCC for 6 months as a Site Coordinator for afterschool and working in the yellow room a couple mornings during the week at the Early Childcare Center. I have been working in childcare for several years now and cannot imagine working in another field. I started my career volunteering in high school in a childcare center. Since then I have been a Teacher’s Assistant at two childcare facilities and spent time as an administrator for a before and after school program in Rhode Island. I have experience working with children from infants to school age and have loved watching the children grow and develop over the years. I graduated from Rhode Island College with a Bachelor’s degree in Operations Management and Anthropology. I usually spend my free time walking my dog Samson and spending time with my family and friends. I am very excited to continue being a part of a wonderful team and working with all the children and families at WCCC

Teachers

Ben Gurney

This will be my 2nd year working at WCCC Bates. I love working here and love working with kids. I love getting to know the kids and people I work with. I studied art, design, and video production in college at Rhode Island School of Design. I also did a grammar school internship, and worked at several camps as a counselor during the summer. I spent 30+ years in video production before I started working at WCCC.

Hi I’m Stephen. This will be my 5th year at WCCC. I am the floating site coordinator at ASP and a combination teacher in the purple room at the ECP. I love making strong connections with a new child everyday. In my spare time I love to fish and watch Boston sports teams!
