Denise's Story
Life
After New Dorp High School, I attended the Staten Island Community College and received an A.A.S. in Child Care. I then continued pursuing my education at Richmond College and received a B.A. degree in Psychology and Elementary Education.
I completed a Montessori Teacher Training Internship and began my Teaching career at the Staten Island Montessori School. At this point my father passed away - a sad time for all of us. I taught the Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade class from 1976-1990.
Although I loved teaching using the Montessori method, I left Montessori for a high paying job with good benefits.

rogram. A big change for me. I went from teaching middle to upper middle class children to teaching children from low income families.
In 1994 I become the Education Director, and I am currently still in this position.
Unfortunately, my mom passed away in January 1996. But as one door closes another opens. I met my husband Richard in October 1996, he proposed in May 1997 and we got married in October 1997. It is our first marriage for both of us. I guess good things happen to those who wait. We are happily married living in the West Brighton/Sunset Hill section of Staten Island. We do not have any children but we enjoy our life and really enjoy going on cruises.
