ABOUT THE FarmHOUSE

My journey to education began with a passion for teaching, although uncertain about the specific age group. Pursuing my dream, I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. It was during my tenure at a small preschool that my love for teaching solidified. After seven rewarding years, I embarked on a new adventure, transforming a part of my childhood home into a nurturing learning environment.

Our school operates from a separate space within the home, providing a cozy and welcoming atmosphere for our students. In the summer, we elevate the fun with water play, ice cream days, petting zoos, and gardening adventures. Currently, I am the sole educator, catering to the needs of six children daily. As our school family expands, I am committed to hiring staff members who share my dedication to early childhood education, all of whom will be CPR and first aid certified. Join us on this journey of learning and growth at The Farmhouse Childcare & Preschool, nestled in the heart of Wallkill, NY.
