Teacher-Floater/ Substitutes

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 Miss Kim!

Hi! My name is Miss Kim and I am a Floater Teacher at Children Central.  I joined the Children Central family in February, 2023. As a floater, you may find me assisting in any of our classrooms from Infant to Pre-K.  This makes each day interesting and rewarding, as I get to teach children of all ages throughout the school.

I do love working with children of all ages from Preschool to High School. I take pride in knowing that in some form of fashion that I have a hand in enriching the lives of our children. It is amazing to watch children learn and grow while exploring the environment around them.

I have over 20 years’ experience in Early Childhood Education and have worked with all age groups. I have earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education from Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Ga. I also have earned a Master of Education in Management from Strayer University. I hold a Private School Teacher certification: N-K and an Emergency Permit: Day-to-Day Substitute K-12 certificate. I am also a Paraprofessional at Pennsbury High School in the Life Skills program.

When not working, I like spending time with family and friends. I have a daughter, Kendell, and all I do is for her. She is a Materials Science Engineering major at Drexel University.

I am enjoying being a part of the Children Central family.

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 4^th with^. a minor in mathematics, grades Pre-k to 8^th.

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 Ashley!

Hi, I am Miss Ashley! I am so excited to be working as a Floater Teacher for Children Central as of March 2023. I mainly assist in Pre-K/Cub Camp, but I help out in whichever classroom I may be needed.

I have always loved children!  When I was 13, I started babysitting and when I turned 16, I began volunteering at a local childcare center. I have experience working with children of all ages.

I just completed my freshman year at Elizabethtown College where I play on the varsity soccer team. While I have not yet declared a major, I am very interested in the law enforcement and judicial system.

When I am not away at school, I love spending time with my family and friends, playing soccer, travelling and I absolutely LOVE the beach! I look forward to getting to know all of the children and families at Children Central.
