Brain Balance of Palm Beach Gardens

Mary Baker

Executive Director

Mary Baker is a former teacher and a Board-Certified Cognitive Specialist. She joined Brain Balance Achievement Centers in South Carolina over a decade ago, with six years of experience in the field of education. She graduated from Temple University in Pennsylvania with a bachelor’s degree in Early, Elementary and Special Education.

Mary’s educational background includes serving as a Lead Program Coordinator of Supplemental Education Services for Sylvan Learning Center, Assistant Director of an early childhood program, Lead Early Intervention Preschool Teacher, and 5th-grade Learning Support Educator of a Severe Emotional Disturbance class.

Disheartened by the lack of gains academically, socially, and behaviorally with the children she worked with, she sought out a better way. She found it in Brain Balance - a true measurable positive impact for student progress. Since then, helping children achieve their full potential is Mary’s mission.

During her almost ten years as a member of the Brain Balance organization, she has witnessed and been a part of hundreds of children reaching that fullest potential. She is thrilled to be a part of bringing Brain Balance to Palm Beach Gardens.
