Ivy Hedge's Wonderful Teachers

 
Miss Candy Miss Candy

My name is Miss Candy and I am the Pre-K art teacher as well as the Assistant Director at Ivy Hedge.  I have proudly taught art for 29 years and have taught to two generations. I love working patiently with the children while encouraging them to make their very own master pieces.

Miss Judy Miss Judy

Hi, I’m Ivy Hedge’s Pre-K reading readiness teacher. I have a degree in Early Child Education from Lasell College in Massachusetts. I came to Ivy Hedge in 1981 and haven’t left except for some maternity leave. I am proud to say all of my own children and my grandson are graduates of Ivy Hedge. You might say it’s a family affair! And, Ivy Hedge is a family. Not only is it a great place to send your child it is a great place to work. So come visit me in what Miss Candy calls “Judytown”.

Miss Ellen

This is my 11th year teaching the beginners at Ivy Hedge. I taught Gymboree for nine years and read during children’s story time at Barnes and Noble as well. I love making arts and crafts with the little ones, it’s a wonder what they can do! My favorite month is March because it is Food Month at Ivy Hedge. Making fruit salad with the kids is a lot of fun. My daughter is now 21 years old and is also a proud Ivy Hedge graduate.

Miss Sue

Hello, I first came to Ivy Hedge as a parent with my oldest daughter. I was so impressed with the curriculum and I felt an immediate bond with the staff and teachers. All three of my children attended and graduated from Ivy Hedge. What I love most about working here is to see the excitement on the children’s faces when they learn something new. I also love all the hugs I get when the children come to school.

Miss Kerry

Hi! I am Miss Kerry and I am honored to be part of the Ivy Hedge family. I am the Pre-K math and science teacher. I look forward to seeing your children, who now have become my friends, in my classroom each day. I am a proud mom of two extraordinary boys, who share my enthusiasm for my wonderful job. I have two simple goals for my classroom every day: to help my friends learn and to make them smile!

Miss Karen

My name is Miss Karen and I work with Miss Sue in the Nursery Class. Both of my boys, ages 14 and 11, attended Ivy Hedge. I loved the atmosphere so much I came back once I decided to do something fun outside the home. I have a B.A. in Sociology and have substituted in the Ocean Township School district. And, I love to work with the kids at Ivy Hedge!

Miss Cindie

My name is Cindie Sariotis and I run the office at Ivy Hedge. I have many years experience with nursery schools; my father-in-law owned Oakhurst Country Day School and Camp for 40 years. I worked for him in many different capacities: teacher, secretary, camp counselor, and even bus driver! When Melissa offered me a job at Ivy Hedge, I did not know what to expect. What a wonderful school! We have fabulous teachers who run unbelievable programs at each grade level. Along with answering the phone and other office duties, I get to know and love each and every child! The best part of my day is giving out treats, stickers, and hugs. I have the best job in the world! I feel very blessed not only to work with wonderful people but to get to know all of our amazing Ivy Hedge families.
