Welcome to Preschool!
Hello! My name is Miriam Olmos Tapia, and I am a special education teacher. In my country, Ecuador, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Education, with a concentration in Special Education. Here in the United States, I attended NJCU, where I obtained my certification for Preschool through Grade 3 (P-3) and a Master's degree in Special Education.
Since 2011, I have worked in the North Bergen School District as a resource teacher. This year, I will be working as a Pre-K special education teacher. I am very excited to be your child's teacher for the 2025-2026 school year! I love teaching and I'm very enthusiastic about helping my students develop their skills. I hope to make your child's pre-kindergarten experience enriching and fun.
In my free time, I love traveling, spending time with my family, watching movies, and reading. I am also a cat person and have a cat named Leo. I look forward to a fantastic school year ahead! Communication is crucial, so please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.
