Gabrielle Spinale
Executive Director & Head Teacher

Gabrielle began her lifelong career working with children in 2005 and took on the leadership role at SPNS in 2021. She holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Early Childhood Education and has been in a director role for the past 10 years. Gabrielle works in both classrooms at SPNS, oversees the day-to-day operations, logistics, and business aspects of the school, and ensures that all children receive high quality care, a well-rounded and engaging curriculum, and a unique and wonderful first school experience.

In her spare time, Gabrielle enjoys spending time with her husband and two-year-old daughter and her friends and family. She looks forward to getting to know you and welcoming your family to our wonderful school community!

“Working with young children has been one of the greatest joys of my life. Whether it is building a tall Lego tower with them, helping to solve a problem between friends, chatting over morning snack, or watching them master a new skill, it is all important and it is all meaningful. We are the start of their education journey, and it is our duty to make it count.”

Annmarie Landry
Lead Teacher • Stars

I am thrilled to be a part of the SPNS community, where every day I am greeted by the smiles of curious and enthusiastic students. As a preschool teacher, I am committed to nurturing their love for learning, promoting independence, social awareness, and cultivating their understanding of the world around them in an environment grounded in respect and positivity.

Outside of school, I love to spend time with my wonderful family, including my husband and our six children, all proud graduates of SPNS.

I hold certifications for Director and Lead Teacher with the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC). Additionally, I hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Geography, complemented by extensive coursework in Early Childhood Education, including the following courses: Child Development, Early Childhood Curriculum, Infants and Toddlers, Behavior Management, Disabilities- Diagnoses and Intervention, and Administration of ECE Programs. I am also CPR and First Aid certified.

“I am deeply honored to contribute to the growth and development of young minds at SPNS, fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment where kindness and caring thrive.”
