A little bit about me

Hi my name is Alison Davis. I’ll tell you a bit about myself. My early years, I grew up in Newark and moved to Middletown later on in life and complete middle school and high school within the I’m Appoquinimink. School District. I cheered competitively during middle school through my college years, where I attended Wilmington University majoring in Behavorial Science. Throughout college, I maintained a job through the YWCA with their before and after care program at a local elementary school and loved it. Even though it has been some time, since then I have became a momma to an amazing little boy (who is 8 now) and it has been the most rewarding job I have ever been blessed enough to have. I also most recently have volunteered coaching an 5-9 yr old all star cheerleading squad in Middletown. I love children of all ages and believe nourishing their development is paramount for success. Just a few little “tid-bits” about me. I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks!
