Site leader
Mrs. cynthia
Hi! My name is Mrs. Cynthia, and I’m excited to serve as the Site Leader for M&M Extra Care at Westfield Charter Academy!
I have been a part of M&M Extra Care for 9 years, and I have experience working with children of all ages, from infants through high school. I’ve also had the opportunity to work with military families and the United States Air Force for five years, as well as with an after-school program in Michigan.
I was born and raised in California and am a proud mom of two amazing boys, EJ and Eli. Being a mom has strengthened my passion for supporting children, encouraging their individuality, and creating spaces where every child feels welcomed and valued.
As a Site Leader, my goal is to create a safe, organized, positive, and fun environment where students can learn, build friendships, express themselves, and enjoy being a kid. I love bringing creativity into our program through arts and crafts, STEM activities, SEL lessons, group games, special events, and plenty of fun!
I also believe that strong communication and teamwork between families and staff are an important part of helping our students succeed.
I’m looking forward to a wonderful school year filled with learning, laughter, creativity, and great memories!

Ms. miracle
Hi, My name is Miracle Davis (Enrichment Specialist) and I am ecstatic about taking on this new school year together.
I have three years experience guiding students through those lightbulb moments and making everyday discoveries feel like an adventure.
I am currently studying for my Google Data Analytics Certification and will be continuing my education at WCC in the spring
Outside of work you can find me at the local skate park roller skating, with the neighborhood kids playing with sidewalk chalk (Undefeated Hopscotch Champion) or thrift shopping.
One fun fact about me is that I have read over 300 books this year.
I am most excited about creating hands-on activities that turn after school hours into a fun and supportive space where students can discover a new passion.
Operations Manager
Tara Ball
Tara has been with M & M since 2009 and also began as an Enrichment Specialist. But with Tara’s extensive experience and expertise in School-Age programming, it was clear her role was to include so much more. Tara is instrumental in providing high quality care at M&M. Tara is a valuable coach and leader to all Specialists, Site Leaders and even the Administrative Team. Tara will often step into a classroom to cover a shift, to help train a new specialist, or even just because she LOVES working with the kids! Tara’s greatest love—planning and working summer camp!
Owner
Madonna Mrocca
As the owner of M&M Daycare, Inc., Madonna has been providing care for children since 1995.

She understands that strong partnerships with families, co-workers and school-day teachers will aid in the growth and development of each child. Her team of professionals are provided with an equally safe and cooperative workplace where honesty, integrity, trust, respect, and ongoing professional education is their primary responsibility. Although Madonna now operates primarily in the administration of the program, she believes in her team and relies on them to provide the best before and afterschool program available!
