Meet Miss Taryn!
Hi! My name is Miss Taryn. I joined Children Central in July 2021 and enjoy being the Lead Teacher in Twaddlers for our older two year old classroom.
While attending Pennsbury High School, I participated in two child development courses, which enabled me to teach in a childcare setting. It was in these programs that I discovered my passion for teaching. I am excited to put all I have learned to good use. Contributing to a child’s development and education is extremely rewarding and I take pride in the opportunity to do so.
I have started to pursue an Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education and will soon be pursuing a CDA credential as well. In the future I also plan to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education.
I hope to create a positive experience and environment that encourages the children in my classroom to want to learn and be excited to come to school every day. I believe in active learning that keeps the children engaged while also allowing them to be creative. I also like to incorporate social and emotional skills such as manners, self-confidence, and respect for others. Most importantly, I look forward to providing the children with the same care I give to my baby boy.
When I am not teaching, you can find me enjoying time with my family. My husband, Raymond and I welcomed our first baby, also named Raymond, in June of 2022! I am glad that he gets to come with me every day to attend Children Central. We also have a dog named Maci. We spend our free time dining at local restaurants, traveling when we can, and just spending quality time at home. (We love a game night!)
Meet Miss Carissa!
Hi! My name is Miss Carissa. I joined Children Central in January 2022. I am attending Bucks County Community College and will soon complete my Associate’s degree in Pre-K to fourth grade. I have experience with age groups ranging from Infant through Preschool. I previously taught for approximately two years at a local childcare center. It brings me so much joy to instruct students and implement the curriculum and weekly lesson plans.
I look forward to teaching the children every morning, as I enjoy helping them learn something new each day at school. My goal as a teacher is to have my students understand what they are learning and then use that knowledge in real world situations.
When I am not teaching in the classroom or going to school, I enjoy reading various types of books and watching any Disney movie. When I am not buried in a book or watching Monsters Inc., you can find me with my friends making memories to last a lifetime.
I look forward to teaching your children and to meeting each and every family at Children Central.
Meet Miss Barbara!
Hi! My name is Miss Barbara and I started at Children Central in 2022. I have been working with children for over 25 years. I have earned a CDA (Child Development Associate) credential. I also plan to study for a higher degree in Early Childhood Education.
I love teaching because you get to see the world through a child’s eyes and watching them grow and learn is wonderful! It is so rewarding to see them explore and learn new things! I will encourage learning in a safe and nurturing environment.
When not working, I like spending time with family and friends. My husband (Mark), our son (Justin) and I enjoy camping in Egg Harbor Township, NJ. I like swimming, boating, and the Ocean City boardwalk. Other fun hobbies are arts and crafts, making soy candles, taking photos, and just being creative!
I always look forward to meeting all of the families here, as I love being a part of the Children Central family of teachers!
