Teresa Occhiline
Assistant Director
ion as a Director and Education Specialist, I still wake up excited about helping classrooms come to life! Creating engaging spaces where children feel safe, confident, and ready to learn is truly my passion.
As a mom of three and grandmother of two, I know how important it is for families to feel connected and supported. I love building strong partnerships with our community, establishing lasting relationships with parents and creating a kind, welcoming atmosphere where every child can thrive socially and academically.
When I’m not at school, you’ll usually find me gardening, getting creative with painting and art projects, or enjoying life here in The Heights. I believe learning should be joyful — for children and grown-ups alike!
