Rainbow Room
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.

Teaching Assistant
Hello! I grew up in Massachusetts and am currently living in Burlington. I recently graduated from the University of Vermont with an Elementary Education degree. I have always had a passion for working with children and the outdoors. I started my career as a ski instructor at Bromley Mountain in Peru, Vermont, which is where my family currently resides. I started working at Trinity in September 2022 as a support staff in the Sunshine
Room and have since transitioned into being an assistant teacher to Paige in the Rainbow Room.
