Meet our team

Caring people who love what they do

Our certified teachers and directors hold degrees and certificates in early childhood education and share one goal: a safe, enriching and inclusive place for every child.

Center Director

Angela Bustos

Angela has worked in childhood education and youth development since 2014 and holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a concentration in Childhood Development.

She began as an art and sports instructor at a nonprofit afterschool program in Brooklyn, where she grew into the Assistant Director role. After moving to Orange County, NY in 2023 she became a Regional Director, overseeing before- and aftercare programs and early learning centers across the Hudson Valley.

Today she leads Discovery Years, which she says has “truly felt like a second family.” At home she’s mom to Raiden and Renzo, two dogs named Vixen and Onyx, and a fish named Titan.

Assistant Director

Kaitlyn Sullivan

Kaitlyn brings more than seven years of child care experience. She joined Discovery Years in 2022 as an Assistant Teacher and was promoted to Lead Teacher in the Infant Room in 2023.

As Assistant Director she now manages administrative and day-to-day operations across every classroom, so families always have someone who knows their child.

Outside the center you’ll find her at a live show, experimenting with a new recipe, or spending time with friends and family.
