Andrea Howell

Site Director of the Island of Imagination, Bar Harbor

Andrea moved to Maine from England twenty one years ago when her husband joined the Jackson Lab. Both agree they could not have found a better place to raise their three children. Following nine years as the Director of Mount Desert Nursery School, Andrea left to complete a Master’s program in Special Education at the University of Maine and has enjoyed working in the MDI school district for the last seven years. She joins the Down East Family YMCA as the Site Director for the Island of Imagination Early Learning Center in Bar Harbor.

Andrea enjoys living on MDI, and loves to swim, paddle and walk in beautiful Acadia National Park. She is excited to return to Early Childhood Education and looks forward to working with the two existing early learning centers at the Moore Community Center and Beechland Road.
