ABOUT ME
Hello and welcome to our Pre-K class! I am thrilled to have you! I can’t wait to spend all year getting to know you and your little ones. For now, here is a little bit about me:
My first name is Kristina, and I grew up right around the corner in Monmouth Beach. I still live there with my younger sister, mom and dad. I attended high school at Shore Regional and then went to Fordham University in NYC for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. For undergrad, I majored in Psychology. I then did my Master’s in Early Childhood Special Education. I have my NJ Pre-K through Grade 3 certification and my Teacher of Students with Disabilities certification. It is my ultimate goal to provide a loving environment where every child feels they are safe to be themselves and learn in their preferred way.
When I am not in the classroom, I am often hanging out with my boyfriend of a couple of years, my close friends, my sister or my adorable dog, Bear! You can also find me in my kitchen, cooking up a meal for my family or baking treats for a holiday gathering. I also enjoy going to the beach and absolutely love to swim. I am big into crafts and interior design/decorating!
