Molly is working towards her graduate degree at Bank Street College in dual Early Childhood General and Special Education, and Columbus is Molly’s first full-year in-person program, having switched careers to follow her passion of teaching after 10 years of working in the corporate world. She is focusing her graduate fieldwork in 4s/5s, and is excited to be learning and growing while she teaches!
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.
