Cassie Mielke

Cassie Mielke joined Koala-T-Kare in May 2009. Cassie graduated from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse in December 2008 with a bachelor's degree in Recreation Management.

From 2003 to 2008 while in school, Cassie was a childcare teacher at the La Crosse Area Family YMCA working with children aged 6 months to 5 years. She also worked as a Field Supervisor and Assistant Director for the Sumer Recreation Enrichment Center Pre-K program. Most recently, she worked as a Recreation and Marketing Intern and Interim Site Director for the Madison School and Community Recreation (MCSR).

Cassie is currently the Youth Recreation Director in New Self Renewal Center (Koala-T-Kare's sister company). She loves to watch kids grow and learn new things every day, and see the excitement in their eyes each time they stop by Kid Corner. Her hope is that every child who visits Kid Corner feels like it is designed especially for them, while still giving Mom and Dad the ability to take some much needed, guilt-free time for themselves!

When she's not at work, Cassie enjoys going out with friends, spending time with family, scrapbooking, watching movies, traveling and cheering on the UW Badgers! GO BUCKY!
