My name is Matt Cottrill and I’m really delighted to be returning to SPCC. Working with children and their families is a passion of mine that really provides fulfillment and pride. I feel I can really be myself working within a community that has an identity and a mission and cohesion amongst both staff and the families we serve.

Some things I enjoy bringing into my work are nature exploration, music and movement, books like MOUSE MESS and TEN LITTLE RUBBER DUCKS, group songs and games, and humor. And singing together a lot. You will probably hear me singing in the hall before too long and I’m always happy to stop and chat.

As a single parent, I have a 14 year old starting high school next month. We spend a lot of time playing sports and biking and enjoying nature around town.

I love music and have my earbuds snugly in my ears on my walks and bus rides. I also listen to old time radio shows and This American Life.

Baseball is a big passion in our family as is playing Scrabble and SORRY and other games with our extended family.
