Meet Miss Erin Balcom

Welcome to Pre-K 4A! My name is Miss Erin Balcom. I am delighted to be your child's teacher this school year! My classroom aide, Ms. Gwen, and I are very excited to work with you and your child. 

I've been part of the Holy Family Regional Catholic School family for many years. I attended 8th Grade at HFRCS and graduated with the very first class in 2011! Since 2016, I have worked at the school in many capacities at different times; I was a summer camp counselor and a member of the afternoon CARES staff, to name just a few. In 2022, I was the long-term substitute in Pre-K 3. In January of 2023, I became the long-term substitute in Pre-K 4A, and here I have stayed! I absolutely love my classroom and who I share it with.

All of my teaching experience has been in preschool. I have also taught in Bristol, Langhorne, and Newtown. In May of 2021, I earned my associate's degree in Early Education from Bucks County Community College. In May of 2023, I graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education from Holy Family University. 

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and baking! I love Disney, flamingos, and bright colors. You can almost always find me humming some Elvis Presley songs, as I am a huge fan of him! My favorite food is pasta, specifically vodka rigatoni from Cesare's Ristorante in Bristol Borough. Over the summer, I brought a golden retriever puppy home! He is the sweetest boy you'll ever meet. He is named Claude after former Philadelphia Flyers captain, Claude Giroux! I am newly engaged to David, who I have been seeing for three years. We are planning to get married in October of 2024! He is a firefighter and EMT in Northampton Township (Richboro, PA). David visited our classroom during Fire Prevention Month and still pops in from time to time. The children call him Mr. David!

I'm very grateful for the opportunity to teach preschool at Holy Family Regional Catholic School. It is a wonderful place! I am proud to practice and share my Catholic faith with even the littlest of learners. My goal for this year is to assist your child academically, physically, and spiritually in helping to create a well-rounded child.
