We hope this allows you to learn a little bit about us... enjoy!
Miss Kristina- Coordinator
This is my 2nd year as the FRC Coordinator for both JHS & TVES. Last year was great and now coming back with a year under my belt I'm excited to see the kids returning to us, meeting all the new families, and looking forward to a great year! My favorite color is purple... but for those who know me I'm obsessed with tie dye and rainbows and alllll the colors! I'm a very crafty person and enjoy sharing that passion with the kids, especially kindness rocks & tie dye. I listen to a wide variety of music across many ages as my dad was a music teacher so I was always exposed to it all. I'm a sucker for upbeat things I can sing and dance around to. I'm also a huge animal lover (I have a dog named Bailee and cat named Stabler), as well as obsessed with the beach and soaking up all the Auntie time with my 6 nieces and nephews when I can! I want the kids to look forward to coming to us daily, and not wanting to leave... gives me such joy to know they love their time with us.
Miss. Maria- JHS
I have been at FRC now for 30 years! I work both the morning and afternoons at JHS. My favorite color is red. I love making coffee filter snowflakes with the kids in the winter. I enjoy listening to rock and roll. I have 7 grandchildren and love them to pieces. I want the kids that come to us to enjoy coming and have loads of fun!
Miss. Joann- JHS
I've been working for FRC for 15 years now! I get to see the kids grow up at JHS and then when they come over to TVES I see them again as I work in the cafeteria there. My favorite color is blue. I really enjoy doing activities and crafts based on all the holidays. I enjoy listening to Motown music, especially in the car. My son recently got married and I had 12 family members visiting from Italy for 2 weeks, it was a party every night! I hope that when the kids come to FRC they can come talk to me anytime and feel comfortable. I want them to be happy which makes me happy!
Miss. Paula- JHS/TVES
I have been working at FRC now 9 years. I work the afternoons at TVES. This year I'm going to also do a few afternoons at JHS! My favorite color is blue. I love to garden and helped out with a garden club last year at TVES. I enjoy listening to folk music and James Taylor. I like to go camping and spending time with all my cats at home. I hope the kids that come to us have fun and laugh.
Miss. Julie- JHS
I've been here with FRC for 7 years already. I work the mornings at JHS. My favorite color is blue. I love doing paper crafts with the kids and celebrating their birthdays! I really enjoy listening to oldies music. I love to travel and have been to Italy multiple times. I hope the kids have fun as well as feeling loved and special to me!
Miss. Kayliana- TVES
FRC has been my 2nd family for 6 years now. I work both mornings and afternoons at TVES. This year I'm going to also do a few afternoons at JHS! My favorite colors are Turquoise and maroon. I love painting with the kids and will be doing my painting club with a little spin again this year. I like listening to pop and classic rock. I have 2 bog dogs at home (Bernese Mountain dog/New Foundland mix and an English Cream Golden Retriever). While the kids are with us, I want to make sure they trust me and other staff members and come up to us without hesitation!
Miss. Marissa- JHS/TVES
This year is my 6th year working within FRC. I jump between our Pre-K program as well as JHS & TVES. My favorite color is black. I love to color with the kids when I'm at TVES especially. I enjoy listening to alternative rock as well as some rap and country music. I am a big car fan, and surprisingly know a lot about them. My goal is to give the kids a positive environment while they're with us after school!
Mr. Jack- JHS
This year is my 3rd year at FRC. I currently work afternoons only a few days a week at JHS. My favorite color is blue. I love to draw and especially with the kids (and doing a drawing club this year!) I like to listen to pop, rock, and indie music. I have a dog, and love to read & write on my spare time. I want the kids to feel that FRC is a place where they have fun and feel safe!
Mr. Robert- JHS/TVES
This year starts my 2nd year working at FRC. I work afternoons at JHS & TVES. My favorite color is black. I really enjoyed our tie dye activity last year and can't wait to do it again. I enjoy listening to pop, indie & rock music. I have a dog at home that I love. I enjoy running on my spare time as well as going hiking on trails. I want the kids to feel that FRC is a place that is enriching and welcoming!
Miss. Linda C.- JHS
I just started here with FRC this year. I'll be working mornings at JHS. My favorite color is orange. I like coloring and painting and can't wait to do so with the kids. I like to listen to 50's and 60's music. I like going to Aruba when I can and enjoy time I can spend with family and friends as well as meeting new people. Fun fact about me, I went to clowning school in FL! I want all the kids with us to feel loved, special, and looking forward to having fun and making memories with us.
Miss Cathy- JHS
I'm new to FRC at JHS but know some of the other morning workers from another job. My favorite color is green. I really enjoy reading books and doing puzzles with the kids. I like to listen to 60's music and the "top 40." I grew up in short beach and live in Branford. I want the kids to know how to be kind and respect others while at FRC with us.
Miss Felicia- JHS/TVES
I'm the newest to the FRC staff, but I used to work here a few years ago and still remember some of the kids. I will be working at both FRC sites. My favorite color is Black. I enjoy coloring with the kids when they're with us. I like to listen to indie, rock/metal and pop music when I'm not working. I want the kids to have fun know that we offer them a safe place at FRC.
