Welcome to Pre-k! Hello, my name is Jennifer Elek and I love teaching Pre-k at Memorial School. I graduated from Pace University with both a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a reading concentration and additional graduate credits in teaching mathematics at the elementary level. Prior to working in Emerson, I taught at the elementary school level in the New York City Public School System.
One of my goals for Pre-k is to create a home away from home learning environment where all children feel comfortable and can achieve their personal best. We have a lot of exciting and fun things planned for the school year, and I look forward to working with the children and their families for a great year!
