A Little about Me

Hello preschoolers and families!

My name is Miss Gab and I will be your child's educator throughout this school year.

What an amazing journey we get to embark on together. We have so much

planned and I cannot wait to be a part of helping your child learn and grow. 

I am so excited to welcome you to our preschool family at the Betty Maddalena Early Learning Center.

Please know that I will create a loving and nurturing environment,

where your child will be motivated to achieve at their fullest potential.

Being a teacher is my passion in life. My personality truly fits the characteristics

of a teacher, a few include: loving, smart, caring and organized. In my free time, I also enjoy

cooking, painting, DIY projects, being outside and making others smile. :)

This is my 2nd year as a preschool disabilities teacher.

I love our school and consider it my home away from home. I finished

my undergraduate studies at Montclair State University, double majoring in both

Sociology and Early Elementary Education grades Pre-K-6^th. 

I then attended Caldwell University, where I earned my certification in

Teaching Students with Disabilities as well 

my Master’s Degree in Special Education.

love them like there is no tomorrow."- Unknown
