Meet Our Leaders
KIRSTEN MARIOTTI
Executive Administrator
I’ve been with Small Wonders since August of 2011, not long after Leslie opened the first location. I graduated from YSU with a PreKindergarten degree, and have also furthered my education by taking online classes through the University of Cincinnati. I love seeing the children grow and change through their years with us, especially the ones that start as a baby and leave for kindergarten. I also love to see when them years later after they have grown up, to see the great people they have become. Outside of work, my family and I like to spend time boating and four-wheeling. I also coach elementary school cheerleading.
DANYELL SMITH
Education Coordinator
My name is Danyell. I have been employed with Small Wonders since October of 2016. I was hired as a floater in the infant classroom at our Greenford location. I have worked as an assistant and a lead infant teacher for 3+ years. Through the TEACH scholarship that Small Wonders offers their employees, I achieved my Infant/Toddler CDA through the University of Cincinnati.
In May 2020, I was promoted as a member of our Small Wonders D&LC Leadership Team and the Education Coordinator for all Small Wonders D&LC locations. I travel to each site and work hand in hand with our administrators and lead teachers on a daily basis. I am happy to have collaborated with our Columbiana and Salem staff to achieve their very first 5 Star Step Up to Quality ratings in 2021.
