Administrative Staff

Melissa Gass, Director

I fell in love with NBCC during my student teaching experience. I knew then that I wanted to work here! I hold an Associate’s of Applied Science degree in Early Childhood Development and Education from Columbus State Community College and a B.S. in Education with a Specialization in Creative Pedagogy from OSU. I’m passionate about play based teaching methods that engage and inspire children. Outside of my professional life, I’m a proud parent to two wonderful boys, both are NBCC alumni. I enjoy spending time exploring parks with my husband Chris, our boys, and Reese Cup, our cute little dog.

I have been with North Broadway since 2019. Before joining the administrative team, I spent three years as a lead teacher in the Butterfly Room! When I’m not at work I enjoy reading, crafting, and wrangling my two cats, Oliver and Dennis.
