Hello Families of the B13 Goldfish! My name is Jaclyn Nini (formaly, Miss Hensler) and I am your child's preschool teacher for the 2019-2020 school year. Two other very important teachers in our classroom is our 6 hour aide, Ms. Vanderslice and our 4 hour aide, Mrs. Cassidy. I have been teaching at PECEC for seven years now, first as a long-term substitute teacher then becoming a classroom aide while finishing my Master's in Early Childhood Education which led me to become a preschool classroom teacher. My passion for teaching and all of my experiences have all shaped into the teacher I am today and I am so proud to be apart of the Pemberton School District Community! I am so excited to be your child's teacher and to have the opportunity to get to know both you and your child as the year progresses. As your child's teacher, every day is a learning experience! Children thrive in a dynamic classroom that is child-centered and that embraces a child’s need to explore the world in order to understand it. Here at Pemberton's 5 Star Early Childhood Center a child's development grows through active learning, consistent daily routine, adult-child interactions and an engaging learning environment. Using developmentally appropriate practice and the HighScope curriculum, we build upon the strengths of each child and promote capable independence. We can't wait to begin learning, growing, and making many memories throughout the year!
