Mrs. Ada
Education Coach

My name is Ada. My original hometown is The Bronx, New York. Today I call my hometown Matawan, New Jersey. My childcare experience began as a teenager babysitting the children in the family and it has continued as an adult. I began teaching after graduating college and I haven’t stopped. I have a Bachelor Degree from Lehman College in Psychology, graduate credits in Education from Fordham University and Bilingual Special Education credits from Adelphi University. I’ve continued my educational training using online training courses, because a teacher is always a student. My educational interests are language acquisition, reading, and writing. My favorite weekend activity is reading a good book and walking along the beach. My favorite children’s book today is Catching the Moon, Written by: Crystal Hubbard. I have been working at the Primrose School of North Edison since October 2020 and previously served as their Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten teacher. I am looking forward to helping our teachers deliver thbes in early childhood education, and getting to know all of our children and families.
