Variety Child Learning Center to Honor Maryalice Lynch Nazaretian

Variety Child Learning Center (VCLC) is pleased to announce that Maryalice Lynch Nazaretian, President, Employee Benefits Group for SterlingRisk Insurance based in Woodbury, will be this year’s honoree at VCLC’s Annual Luncheon. The event will take place on Thursday, May 8, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury.

Ms. Lynch Nazaretian, a resident of Northport, is being honored for her support of VCLC’s students and mission. Her contributions and involvement have helped enable us to advance our cause — to foster the development, education, and inclusion of children who require specialized services — and expand our reach into Suffolk County.

Ms. Lynch Nazaretian is particularly invested in the success of VCLC’s newest location in East Northport as her own children grew up in the district and attended the Bellerose Elementary when it was a district-operated school. “I couldn’t be happier to know it will once again be a destination for the growth and education of young learners,” said Maryalice.

“Maryalice’s support of Variety Child Learning Center is making an incredible difference in the lives of the children we serve,” said Janet Koch, VCLC’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are thrilled to honor her as an expression of our gratitude on behalf of the students, parents and staff here at VCLC.”
