Thanks for hopping by The Kindergarten Pad! I created this website to be a resource for my students, their parents, and early childhood educators.

 

I have always wanted to be a teacher for as long as I remember. In 1996, I completed my student teaching at Old Bridge High School and graduated from Montclair State University with a bachelor’s degree in English and teaching certificate in English K-12. After teaching pre-k and kindergarten in a private school and subbing in elementary schools, I found I enjoyed working with young children so earned my 2nd teaching certificate in Elementary Education, K-8. Since then, I have worked in both public and private schools.

 

My hobbies include surfing the net, reading, crafts, gardening, swimming, yoga, and traveling. So far, I have visited the entire East Coast, California, Canada, the Thousand Islands, Bahamas, England, Scotland, and Ireland. Here are a few of my favorite things:

Color- blue

Food- Italian, Mexican, chocolate ice cream cones, mom's homemade potato salad

Animal- whales and dolphins

Flower- red gerbera

Children's Authors- Eric Carle, Robert Munsch

Children's Musicians- Raffi, Dr. Jean, Jack Hartman
