Christiansburg Primary

Welcome to Christiansburg Primary Before and After School Fun and Learning!

Meet Mae Gibson

To introduce myself: I am from this area and have lived here all my life!  My home, school, and children are all here with me. My background is in Early Childhood Education.  I started my career with the Head Start Program in 1980 and moved on in 1996 to join a Pre-K Program at Blacksburg Day Care and Child Development Program.  I also had the privilege of being a Program Director there. I continued Pre-K for one year with The Adventure Club.  Then, I was promoted to Christiansburg Primary School to join the before and after school program as a Site Manager! I have enjoyed the children and families I have gotten to know.

I feel so blessed to work with such nice people.

 

A Note from The Adventure Club:

There is a genuine feeling of relief when Mae walks into a room.  She has a warm, strong presence that the children can feel.  On many occasions we have seen huge groups of children flock to her side. She keeps the children at number one on her priority list, and it shows.  We are thrilled to have her influence the lives of so many children, yet again, at our Christiansburg Primary School Site, with the largest numbers of children at all of our six schools!

The following model is representative of what your child’s experience would look like.
