Creator, Owner, Educator
An accomplished classroom teacher, ballet teacher, educational leader, and certified instructional coach, Laura has enjoyed working in the field of education for more than 20 years.
After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Laura began her career with the NYC Teaching Fellows. She earned her MS in Special Education from CUNY and later worked as a Doctoral Fellow at Teachers College, Columbia University. A short-term teaching opportunity in Hong Kong turned into 9 wonderful years of working for English Schools Foundation - initially as a classroom teacher, then as a preschool educational adviser, and eventually as the special educational adviser for 17 preschools and primary schools in the district. After returning to New Jersey in 2016, Laura worked as Co-President for Jersey City’s Garden Preschool Cooperative. She moved to Holmdel in 2021 and very happily opened Community Playroom in 2022!
