Sr. Hacere has been with MCS/AA since the 2021 academic year. She has all of her own children in the school as well. She has used her prior daycare experience to positively contribute to our Preschool class.
She really enjoys working with younger children during these pivotal years of their lives. She focuses on working with the children to gain independence, and develop their fine and gross motor skills, in preparation for PreK and beyond. She is a believer in the Montessori method of teaching which involves and expands on children’s natural interests. Her students love combination of learning and fun, while being in her class.
Children from 2-3 years old can be enrolled in Preschool, as long as they are potty-trained. It is at the discretion of the teacher/principle to determine if the child will be able to continue in the class enrolled or needs to move down or up a level.
