Lareesa Savage, Extended Day/Summer Coordinator
Hi, my name is Lareesa Savage and I am the extended day coordinator at Primary Plus Amber. I have been with the company a little over a year and I started out as an extended day teacher/aide. I am excited to be in this new role and hopefully excel at it. I currently have two little kids at Amber and I have one on the way due in January. Working with children has been my passion and I love that there is never a dull moment. I have worked in many settings with all different age groups. The best part of working with children is watching them grow and really become their own person. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, day trips, being in nature and outdoors, and relaxing with a good book.
