Hello! My name is Jackie Ballarino, and I am so excited to be your kindergarten teacher this year!

This is my fifth year teaching kindergarten at East Amwell, following my student teaching experience here in 2022. I earned my bachelor’s degree from The College of New Jersey in Early Childhood Education with a concentration in Psychology, and I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Educational Technology from Rowan University.

I absolutely love teaching kindergarten and watching my students learn, grow, and discover new things each day. One of my favorite parts of teaching is creating a classroom environment where every student feels safe, supported, valued, and excited to learn. I strive to make learning fun and meaningful while helping my students build confidence, independence, and a love of learning. I am looking forward to a wonderful year filled with learning, laughter, and lots of kindergarten adventures!
