Hi there, my name is Ms. Amanda.  I am the Polar teacher for Bear Buddies in New Richmond.  I am 30 years old, have been divorced and am the proud mother of 2 fabulous children.  Tyler - 5 who is in Kindergarten and Addison will be a year in May.  I graduated from Spring Valley High School in 1996 and then attended WITC here in New Richmond.  I graduated with my One Year Degree in Early Childhood in 1997.  Soon after that, I started my first job in child care at a small center here in New Richmond.  In 1999, I began working at Bear Buddies. In August of 09, I will have been here for 10 years.  I have worked with just about every age group here, but really enjoy working with the 3 yr olds.  It is challenging and rewarding every single day.

Hello, my name is Ms. Elizabeth.  I am the Polar teacher at Bear Buddies in Hudson.  I have been working with children most of my life due to my mother operating an in-home daycare.  I am engaged to be married to Chuck in August 2010.  I have only been with Bear Buddies a few months now but really enjoy the wonder of the 3 year olds every day.  I am currently enrolled in the Early Childhood Certification program at WITC.
