I am delighted to serve as the Early Childhood Supervisor, nurturing the growth and development of our youngest learners. I am committed to supporting the learning and growth of our preschool children and guiding their academic journey from preschool through grade 3. With many years of experience at Faber School, I have come to deeply value our vibrant and diverse community. My goal is to continue supporting our students, families, and school in every way I can.

As a Preschool Instructional Coach, my role is to be a behind-the-scenes support for our amazing teachers. I work closely with them to strengthen instructional practices and enhance children’s development and learning. Using our Tools of the Mind curriculum I focus on collaboration, sharing fun, effective teaching ideas and helping create classroom environments where every child can shine! I support all of our preschool teachers and students at Faber, A+ Academy, and Big Hugs, providing coaching that supports both educators and learners alike. In addition, as the Preschool Intervention & Referral Specialist (PIRS), I help ensure that every child receives the support they need within the general education classroom. I collaborate with teachers, families, and our Preschool Intervention & Referral Team (PIRT) to identify strategies that support each child’s unique learning style and developmental needs. In preschool, we know that every child grows in their own special way and we’re here to support them every step of their journey. This school year will be filled with lots of learning, fun, and new adventures. I’m truly excited for all the learning experiences we’ll embark on together!

I am very excited to be your Preschool Community Parent Involvement Specialist. In this role, I will be working closely with parents, guardians, and community partners to strengthen the connection between home and school. My goal is to create meaningful opportunities for families to become actively involved in their child’s education and to help build a strong, supportive school community.

I truly believe that when families and schools work together, students thrive. I look forward to meeting each of you, learning more about your needs and ideas, and partnering with you to create the best possible experience for our children.

Please feel free to reach out to me at preschoolcpis@dunellenschools.org with any questions, concerns, or suggestions. I look forward to working with you!

As the Preschool Social Worker, my role covers several areas to best support our students and families. I serve as the Child Study Team Case Manager for preschool students receiving special education and related services, and I am also a member of the Preschool Intervention & Referral Team (PIRT), where I collaborate with teachers to provide strategies and support for student success.

I provide social skills lessons at all of our preschool sites, including Faber, A+ Academy, and Big Hugs. In addition, I assist our Preschool Community Parent Involvement Specialist, Mrs. Karen Riggi, to coordinate Community Programming and Family Events that strengthen home–school connections.

I am always available if you need support or would like information about community resources. I look forward to working together with all of you and supporting your wonderful children throughout the school year!
