Meet Miss Edivia!

Hi. My name is Miss Edivia.  I have been a part of the Children Central family since August 2014.  I have been in the education field for approximately 20 years, which includes my being a teacher to the physically, mentally, and emotionally challenged.   I truly have a passion for teaching and caring for children.  I earned a Child Development Associates credential (CDA) in 2010 at Manor College.  Helping and watching children learn and grow to their fullest potential gives me great satisfaction and pride in my work.

I have been a Floater Teacher at Children Central since 2014, as I love to work with all of our age groups!  You may find me helping in any of the classrooms from Infants to Pre-Kindergarten, and even filling in as the chef when Mr. Dave goes on vacation.  I added ‘Spanish Teacher’ to my accomplishments at Children Central, as I usually teach the Twaddlers, Preschool and Pre-K classrooms Spanish on Tuesday mornings.  I am fluent in both Spanish and English. Knowing two languages is extremely rewarding, it enables me to have the privilege of communicating with so many more people.  

 

I studied and lived in Puerto Rico, where I was able to learn how to speak and write Spanish.  I attended school, which gave me the chance to learn a second language. This opportunity helps me to empathize with the children, as I know what it is like to learn a new language and how fun and rewarding it can be!  I always enjoy teaching the children Spanish in a fun and entertaining way. I utilize puppets, songs, games, and dancing to make the learning interactive, and a very enjoyable learning experience for your children.

 

I have two children of my own and a wonderful husband, and have lived in the city of Levittown, PA. for most of my life. I did also live on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico with my parents and siblings for several years.   I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, and going to the beach and Sesame Place with my youngest child and grandchildren. I also enjoy cutting hair; I am a licensed Cosmetologist. I love being a teacher at Children Central and am always excited to meet the new children and their families every year.

Meet Mr Matthew!

Hi! My name is Mr. Matthew.  I started teaching at Children Central in November, 2023 as a Floater/Substitute Teacher. You may find me assisting in any of our classrooms, as I enjoy helping out wherever I may be needed.

 

I have had a lot of experience working with children. I started babysitting my cousins when I was 13 and began to volunteer at a local school once I turned 16. I really enjoy taking care of children, it always amazes me watching how fast they grow and learn!

 

When I am not at Children Central, you may find me at my evening job, which is as a server in a local restaurant. In my free time I love to play games on my computer and spend time with family and friends!

 

I am so excited to get to know everyone at Children Central!

Meet Miss Sam!

Hi! My name is Miss Sam and I started working at Children Central in May 2023 as a Floater Teacher.  I love lending a hand in all of the classrooms.

I am going to be a sophomore at West Chester University, where I am studying for my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, grades Pre-k to 4th with. a minor in mathematics, grades Pre-k to 8th.

Starting at a very young age, I knew that I always wanted to be a teacher, especially for the little ones. I have a strong passion for helping children, and the biggest reward that I always tell people is the smile that appears across their face when they laugh or giggle! I was a counselor in training at a summer camp from the ages of 13-15 where I worked with 4 to 7-year-olds. I also started babysitting a few family friends at the age of 14.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, going for a walk/run, reading a good book, and watching Philly sports with my dad.

I absolutely love the environment here at Children Central, and I look forward to getting to know all of the children and their families!

Meet Miss Maria!

Hello Children Central Families! 

My name is Miss Maria! I am super excited to have joined the Children Central family as a Floater Teacher in January, 2025!  I am even more excited to take care of your children! I have several years of experience teaching children of all ages.  I have worked with various ages including infants, toddlers, preschool, kindergarten and middle school!  You may find me in any and every classroom around Children Central, as I assist wherever needed.  This gives me the opportunity to meet all of the children and their families!

Teaching children has always been a passion of mine, which is why I am currently a student at Holy Family University studying Early Childhood Education, PreK-4 and Special Education, K-12. My biggest goal in life, while on my journey to becoming a teacher, is for every child in my care to always know how important, valued, and safe they are with me! I have a sister who is 10 years old, her name is Chloe, and she is my best friend! I also have a brother, George, who is 23 and teaches in the fourth grade! My favorite and most important thing to me is my family! 

Some things that I do for fun are bowling for Holy Family, as well as bowling in a night league. I love to bake and started to pursue it further, as I have established a small business to do in my spare time!
