Brittney Madonna
Owner
Founder of Tiny Tides Childcare. As a Nursing Director and proud mother of four, I understand how hard it can be to find childcare that is both safe and truly nurturing. When my own children were young, I struggled to find high-quality care that offered the love and support they deserved.
​
That experience inspired me to create Tiny Tides - a place where families can feel confident and children can thrive. With my healthcare background, I bring a strong focus on safety and wellness, while my experience as a mom drives my passion for creating a loving, supportive, and engaging environment.
​
It is my joy to bring together a team of caring teachers and staff who share this vision. Thank you for trusting us with your most precious little ones - I look forward to welcoming you into the Tiny Tides family.
Name
Program Director
My name is Allison, and I’m thrilled to join Tiny Tides as the Program Director. I grew up on the South Shore and have called Bridgewater home since 2014. Caring for children has always been a natural part of who I am, ever since kindergarten, when I proudly announced I wanted to be a teacher, that dream never wavered.
I’ve always babysat and nannied but began working professionally in the early childhood field in 2014 at a private center in West Bridgewater. There, I was fortunate to learn from incredible mentors who supported my early growth and helped shape the educator I am today. Within just nine months, I became an MDEEC-qualified teacher, which further fueled my passion for high-quality early learning.
In 2022, I continued my education at Bridgewater State University, graduating summa cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in education and a minor in special needs education. Most recently, in 2024, I worked as a Childcare Director at a nonprofit organization, where I helped facilitate the relicensing process following a $1.3 million renovation, an experience that strengthened my leadership skills and deepened my appreciation for program development.
While I loved the challenge and impact of nonprofit work, I found myself missing the close-knit, relationship-driven environment of a smaller town private center. I am so excited to bring my experience, dedication, and love for early childhood education to Tiny Tides and to build meaningful connections with our children, families, and staff.
I look forward to creating a warm, supportive, and enriching program together.
