About Mrs. Daly
Education
I was born and raised in Rockland County, New York, and I attended schools in the Clarkstown Central School District. I attended Manhattan College for my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and a Master of Science in Special Education (Go Jaspers!). I also attended Lehman College for a Master's Degree in Literacy Studies.
Experience
I began my teaching career in 2nd grade and 4th grade at P.S. 8 Isaac Varian in the Bronx. In September 2020, I was honored to join the Crompond Elementary community as a 5th grade teacher. This will be my fourth year at Crompond and my ninth year in the teaching profession. I also have experience as an art teacher and an arts and crafts director at a camp, so I enjoy incorporating art into my classroom.
Teaching Philosophy
I chose to become a teacher because of the profound impact teachers have had on my life. It is my hope to "pay it forward," and be a teacher who always goes the extra mile for their students. My philosophy of teaching is the belief that every child can be successful.
Personal Life
I currently live in Yonkers with my husband, Dennis. He is a fireman in the Yonkers Fire Department. We enjoy spending time in the Adirondacks and cooking together. In my free time, I enjoy baking, yoga, pilates and traveling.
