Hello! My name is Miss Sarah. I joined Children Central in September 2022 as an Assistant Teacher in the Pre-kindergarten classroom. I am very happy to have become the Lead Teacher of the Preschool class, as I love teaching our 3 year olds! Having previously been a teacher in the Pre-K classroom, I understand well how to prepare the children for what they will need to know when they graduate to this next class and eventually for kindergarten.
I attended Susquehanna University for Music Education, and though I have a passion for music, I knew that I wanted to be a teacher since I was young! For several summers, I worked as an assistant music teacher at St. Luke’s Episcopal church for their summer music camp. I fell in love with working with all of the young students and teaching them different skills. I incorporate music into our daily learning activities, as I believe music can be such a wonderful addition to any classroom and teaches skills that apply to almost every subject. I love being able to watch students learn and grow from the knowledge that you give them, and it gives me joy when they succeed and have fun doing it!
When I am not teaching, I love to read, bake cookies, and do almost any type of craft such as painting or sewing! I have a deep love for animals as well, and I have an adorable Tuxedo cat named Azula, and three exotic tree frogs!
I look forward to the school year full of amazing children in our Preschool class. I enjoy teaching my students to be confident, kind, and to add a touch of musical fun in the classroom whenever possible!
My name is Mrs. Ali and I first joined Children Central as a teacher in the Infant Room in January, 2014. I am very happy to be part of our high quality teaching staff where I can offer caring, energetic, and positive help and guidance to the children. I love taking care of children and have a passion for helping them succeed. Since March, 2024, I became a teacher in the Preschool classroom. I have really enjoyed the newfound experiences with this older age group!
Before I joined Children Central, my love and passion for children guided me to volunteer at a child care center. I then worked at a public Elementary School in Northeast Philadelphia where I assisted with the kindergarten class. Working at Children Central gave me the initiative to pursue my CDA (Child Development Associates) credential! I have previously earned a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering. I worked as an Electrical Engineer and was head of the department of planning at a woman’s clothing factory for eight years. I also was an Electronics Engineering Technician at a company in Philadelphia for twelve consecutive years.
I have been married for 34 years to my husband Rasheed. My husband and I share taking care of our beautiful family and raising our children and grandchildren to have good manners and dignity. I have a lot of expertise in the home especially when it comes to cooking, which is my favorite hobby. I love to prepare the most delicious and healthy meals for my family members. I also enjoy designing and sewing. I raised my three children and currently enjoy taking care of my three grandchildren whenever I have the opportunity.
I am positive that being a teacher at Children Central is another successful accomplishment for me, and another chapter to add to those that I have achieved throughout my career.
Hi! My name is Mr. Almir. I started teaching at Children Central in September, 2024. I started out in the Twaddler classroom as an Assistant Teacher and now have ‘graduated’ along with many of the children to the Preschool class. I have enjoyed teaching in both the 2 and 3 year old classrooms very much! I have been working in the childcare field since I was 16 years old. I began as a camp counselor, and then during my junior and senior years of high school I was a classroom assistant for my local elementary school.
I am currently enrolled at Montgomery County Community College where I am pursuing an Associate’s degree in early childhood education. After I obtain my degree, I plan to further my education at a 4-year college to obtain a Bachelor’s degree.
What I love most about working with children each day is building a special bond with every child in my class. They each have their own personalities that I enjoy getting to know throughout the year!
In my free time you can find me riding bikes and reading a good fantasy novel. I also love Philadelphia sports, especially the Eagles and Sixers. I am so excited to be a part of the Children Central family and to have the opportunity to get to know all of the children and their families.
