Brianna “Bri” Scott
is the Site Supervisor at the Y’s Liberty Elementary School Out of School
Learning program. She also assists at the Y Early Learning Academy a few
times each week.
“I have been with
the Duneland YMCA since November, 2018.” Brianna said, “and I have been
loved every minute of it! I am excited to continue my career and education
with this amazing organization. I love the kids and parents that I work with
and being a part of the special moments the children share with us. I have
always had a passion for youth and being a part of children’s education,
growth and development.”
During high school,
Bri pursued a vocational program for early childhood education that taught
her a hands-on approach in the classroom, how to create curriculums, lesson
plans, as well as thorough training for children with special needs.
“Teaching has always been and always will be my first love!” she said.
Born and raised in
Porter County, Bri is married and has two children. “After becoming a
mother, I realized how much I missed being a part of a classroom setting
with little ones. I am excited to be a part of an organization that has a
mission that I believe in and I’m proud of. I am looking forward to growing
professionally with the Duneland YMCA!”
The YMCA before and
after school program is available at all five Duneland Elementary Schools
for children in kindergarten through 8th grade. The program runs Monday
through Friday from 6:00 a.m. until the start of the school day and after
school until 6:00 p.m. The Y believes that if children have the opportunity
to explore new concepts in a safe place under the supervision of adult
staff, they will have academic success, learn about health and wellness,
develop 21st Century Skills, and become leaders within their communities.
In the Y’s before
and after school program, kids improve their study habits and reading
skills, build healthy physical activity habits, gain exposure to the arts,
STEM experiments. Breakfast and snacks are provided. Children in Y programs
never leave their school site until parent’s pick them up.
