MEET MELISSA

EARLY LEARNING DIRECTOR

WELCOME:

Hello! My name is Melissa and I am the Early Childhood Director here at the Forchetti Family YMCA Center For Early Learning. 

ABOUT ME:

I have worked for the YMCA for 12 years. I started my career as an assistant teacher in the 3 year old room, then advanced into a lead teacher for 5 year olds. I then spent some time working in the office and in the billing department, before transitioning into my current position. I have been married for 13 years and have one son, Juan. He currently attends Purdue University Northwest and is double majoring in accounting and finance. He also helps out as an Assistant Teacher in the 5 year old room. 

FAVORITES:

I am a Disney Fanatic! I have been to Disney World over 20 times and don’t plan on stopping! I love visiting all the theme parks and watching the Happily Ever After fireworks at Magic Kingdom.
