Marisol is in her 7th year at Columbus working with 2s and 3s. Before joining, Marisol was the lead teacher at Little Sprouts, a childcare facility in Hudson Heights where she worked for 8 years. We’re so lucky she brought her jubilance to Columbus, always the most cheerful person around! Marisol’s favorite book is “Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes” because she loves the lesson of resilience, how Pete doesn’t mind getting dirty, just ‘keeps walking along and singing his song’.
I am excited to introduce you to the many wonderful things about Columbus Pre-School that made me want to join as director 12 years ago.
Our sun-drenched classrooms, gymnastics studio, and large outdoor space provide diverse experiences that support every aspect of child development. Our nurturing, dedicated early childhood educators deeply respect children, and it shows, from the care put into the aesthetics and functionality of our classrooms, to the provocations set up to spark creativity, from the way students’ ideas fuel our emergent curricula, to the thoughtful documentation and displays of student work.
As the parent of a graduate, I know first-hand how the foundation laid here at Columbus helped make my daughter, Marlow, into a kind and inclusive friend and a creative and confident student.
I hope you to visit to see for yourself the joy of our students as they play, dance, move, learn and grow here at Columbus Pre-School.
