Smile Preschool has been providing a “preschool as family” environment for over 27 years to the children of Jersey City and their parents. We were the first preschool in the area to achieve Abbott certification in education and are always working to provide the highest level of care for your little ones from birth to six years of age readying them for their next steps in education.

Working with children has always been my passion. My philosophy is that all my students should be given many different opportunities to learn so that they can find their own path to success. I have a passion for learning and as the Director I can utilize my knowledge & experience for the children, families and staff.

I always find ways to give back to my community. I leave quite an impression on every family that enters any of my centers and have helped parents who need assistance and resources for their child’s development. My goal is to inspire my children and staff.
