Center Director

Favorite TLE® Character: Phoebe Phonics

From a young kindergartner when my teacher Mrs. Sunshine asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I immediately responded “A teacher!” I was fortunate enough to follow my dreams and with 30 years of early child care experience I look forward to being a part of TLE Tuckahoe as Center Director. My educational background includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education with an Art Minor, a Master’s in Early Childhood Education both from St. John’s University and Professional Diploma credits in Educational Leadership from Bank Street College. Throughout my years of teaching I have taught age groups from young toddlers to five years olds. After teaching in a NYC preschool for 14 years I transitioned to Education Director and then Head of School. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my two grown boys, hiking, competitive ballroom dancing and baking. Thank you for allowing me to
