Holly graduated Wheelock College in Boston MA with a BS in Human Growth and Development with a concentration in Elementary Education and a specialty in Special Needs. She did many of her practicums with the inner city kids of Dorchester and Roxbury where she learned to build great relationships with the children and their families.
As much as she loved Boston and the diversity it thrives on, Exeter will always be home for her. She graduated from Exeter High school and now resides in Newfields, NH with her husband and three children. They are a family on the move. From busy time at the lake wake boarding, tubing, knee boarding and water skiing to tearing up the slopes in the winter. They love being active but most of all spending that time with family and friends.

Previously she was the Program Director for the Exeter Center for 13 years and is very happy to be back where her heart has always been and always will be.

Tara began at Great Bay Kids as the Duckling’s Infant Assistant and it was not long until Tara opened the Pups Classroom as a Young Toddler Teacher. From there she helped transition the Pups to a two year old toddler curriculum and absolutely loved teaching toddlers. When the opportunity arose to become the Pease Great Bay Kids Assistant Director in January 2015 Tara thought this would be a great opportunity to grow in the field of early childhood education. She has been thrilled to have had so many amazing adventures at Great Bay Kids and is eager for many more to come.
Tara is very excited to fulfill her Director of Enrollment duties and is committed to providing a diverse atmosphere that allows Great bay Kids to have an enriching learning environment that delivers support to children, families, and staff alike. Tara lives with her husband, Derek, in Newmarket, New Hampshire and enjoys scrap-booking, reading, and going to concerts whenever possible.
