  • Contact Phone 9089174713
  • Objective My attached resume reflects that I am well qualified for employment as an early childhood teacher in your program. I am well versed in the High Scope, Project Approach and Reggio Emilio educational philosophies. I possess both my P-3 and K-6 Certifications of Eligibility with Advanced Standing. I am a quick and eager learner of new educational approaches. I graduated in January 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education and Psychology from Kean University. I am currently Lead teacher in multi-age Pre-K class where I create and implement lesson plans in math, science, language arts and small and whole group activities. While attending Kean University, my experience as a Classroom Team Teacher at the University Child Care Center greatly enhanced my capabilities as a teacher with regards to promoting a positive emotional climate and a positive self concept. I received valuable professional experience as a Student Teacher at Dr. Charles Polk elementary school, Roselle, NJ in planning lessons and units through a Literacy Based program which implements centers, shared reading, guided reading and phonemic awareness aligned with the NJCCCS. I believe my diverse experiences will make me a valuable asset to your preschool program.
