Paige Loiselle (She/her)
Early Educator
Paige was raised in Vermont and attended school through the South Burlington School District. After earning her diploma in 2015, she began working towards her Early Childhood Education degree at the Community College of Vermont, and soon after transferred to the University of Vermont. Paige began working with children at a young age, and what started out as a part-time gig, turned into an exploding passion! Paige completed her degree in the Spring of 2020, and took the steps to become a Licensed VT Educator! Over the past few years she has fulfilled her degree with many teaching opportunities through UVM, as well as through her employment outside of UVM. Through these experiences she was able to explore many aspects of teaching, which has shaped who she has become as an educator. Some of Paige's favorite classroom happenings include reading, outdoor adventures, musical activities and sensory play! She strives to support a positive and therapeutic classroom environment, which is what originally drew her to TCC!
Paige lives in South Burlington with her two cats, Ash and Queso, as well as her dog, Carla. Carla is a certified Therapy Dog and TCC is so happy to welcome her into our therapeutic practice.

Corinne McKeller (She/her)
Early Educator
Corinne is a Boston-area native born and raised in Somerville, MA. She moved to Vermont in 2021 to attend UVM for Early Childhood Special Education and came to Trinity as part of a practicum opportunity for an undergraduate class. She loved the environment and community of Trinity and continued working as support staff since May 2024, eventually becoming an educator after graduating from UVM in May 2025. She loves teaching children foundational social and emotional skills, about respecting nature and the land we live on, as well as exploring food systems.
Corinne has worked in several educational settings around Burlington and loves the community here in Vermont. She enjoys engaging in place-based education, which means learning about and appreciating where we are and finding ways to connect children to the local environment. Corinne grew up with a passion for locally grown foods and farming and this continues to have a big impact in her life here in Burlington. Corinne loves watching children undergo the learning process and seeing the unique, interesting, and funny observations children have about the world around them.
Outside of the classroom, Corinne loves to ski, cook, and spend time outdoors with friends and family. She is super excited to be joining the Trinity community in her first position as a full-time educator!
