Assistant Director

I began my journey at Pelham Children’s Center in 2018 and have been fortunate to gain experience across the entire facility. Every opportunity has offered valuable lessons, and I’m continually inspired by the children’s creativity. With a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and as I pursue my master’s in School Psychology, I’ve had the privilege of supporting my team while learning alongside the children.

Being part of such a dedicated group fills me with pride!

Coordinator

I received my Associate's degree in Early Childhood in 2009. My total years at PCC have been 10 yrs and going on my 11th year in October 2019. I

have learned and grown so much here at PCC - I love the atmosphere and that my  work with the children is valued.

Two's Co-Lead Teacher

I’ve been with Pelham Children’s Center since October 2012, hold an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, and serve on the City of New York’s Board of Education. With over 20 years of experience working with 2-3 year olds, I’m passionate about ensuring every child feels safe, loved, and understood. I cherish seeing their smiles and progress every day, which makes being a preschool teacher so fulfilling.

“Teaching kids to count is fine, but teaching them what counts is best.”

Two's Co-Lead Teacher 

I’ve been teaching since 2018 teaching has always been my passion. I love teaching because I can help build children's self-esteem and believe in themselves. I can inspire and watch as they grow into wonderful human beings. To watch a child, gain confidence in themselves and figure things out is amazing. I'm so happy I get to be a part of that at Pelham Children Center. 

Toddler's Co-Lead Teacher

I've been working at PCC for the past 7 years. I have a bachelor's degree in Behavioral Science and I'm currently in the last year of my Masters's degree in Early Childhood Education with a tri certificate in birth- 2nd, 1-6, and special education. What I most enjoy about children is being able to see their growth and accomplishments. Getting to experience their “aha” moments is truly something beautiful. 

Toddler's Co-Lead Teacher

Since 2016, I have had the pleasure of serving as a substitute at Pelham Children's Center and as an Assistant Teacher in the Afterschool Program at Hutchinson. In 2023, I transitioned into the role of Co-Lead Teacher in the Toddler classroom.

Working with children is incredibly rewarding, as it allows me to impart knowledge and skills that will benefit them for a lifetime. I also appreciate the strong sense of community at the center. Recently, I earned my Childcare Development Associate (CDA) certification, which has further enriched my abilities as an educator.

PSA Co-Lead Teacher 

Since 2019, I have worked as an early childhood educator.  I am eager to earn my bachelor's degree in fine arts and education. I now hold an associate's degree in childhood/art education. I am overjoyed to be a part of the PCC community. Working with children is my passion, and I'm dedicated to giving them a safe, supportive environment in which they may express themselves. Every child, in my opinion, is an artist. My family is artistic in nature, thus I aspire to start my own ceramic studio in the future. I currently attend classes at a local art studio. 

PSB Co-Lead Teacher 

I bring 9 years of experience in early childhood education to our preschool. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education from The City College of New York. I am a passionate, enthusiastic, and patient educator who believes every child is unique and capable of learning. I strive to create a warm and engaging classroom where children feel safe to explore, learn, and grow. I am committed to fostering curiosity and creativity while providing a stimulating environment that supports social, emotional, and cognitive development, helping children build a strong foundation for future success. In my free time, I enjoy dancing, cooking, listening to music, and spending time with family.

Teacher Assistant 

I’ve been working with children for the past 4 years and have been at PCC since November 2022. I have an Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education and will be attending trade school in the Fall. Working with children is truly special and it is amazing seeing how much a child can accomplish with just a little help, hope, and love!

Teacher Assistant 

To best introduce myself I am currently a teacher's assistant at PCC. To describe myself I would say I am very fun, silly and artsy. I’m always finding a way to make something out of nothing using my artistic skills. I’ve been in the childcare field for about 7 years or so and I find it really easy to work with children being silly, artsy of course always creative . It’s always a pleasure to see little ones smile and laugh and express themselves unapologetically. I can’t be more thankful to wake up everyday to assist , guide and mentor.

One of my favorite aspects of the job is creating art projects with the kids and seeing their faces light up when they accomplish something amazing!
