Our Preschool Classroom
Your 3-year-old is opening up their world, developing special friendships, learning new words and forming new ideas every day. Through purposeful play, meaningful questions and direct instruction, our Preschool teachers encourage your child to think in new and different ways. Your child will have so much fun that they won’t even realize they’re developing the skills they’ll need for reading and math.

Sasmita Sahoo
Hello, my name is Sasmita Sahoo and I am from Garnet Valley. I have obtained my Master’s in Art from India and have completed my Associate Teaching Degree in Early Childhood Education from Irvine Valley College. This is my 6th year as an early childcare specialist. I absolutely love the exploring, learning and fun we get to experience with the curious young minds.
I am married to my wonderful husband, Maunesh and we have two energetic boys. Being a mother of two children and nurturing them throughout has taught me a lot which helps me in this profession.
My favorite children’s author is Dr. Seuss. My favorite food is rice. During the weekend, I enjoy gardening. The Primrose character I most relate to is Molly the cow.
Maher Sayed
Hi, I am Maher Afroz Sayed. I am from Glen Mills, Pennsylvania. I have over 12 years experience working with kids and I love it. I have received my degree in Literature (B.A) and advanced degree in education (BE.d). We are a beautiful family of 5, my husband, daughter (Sufi), dog (Smokey) and cat (Simba).
On weekends, we love spending time together as a family. I enjoy reading, cooking, & hiking. I enjoy Mediterranean cuisine the most. My favorite Children’s books are by Junie B. Jones as she is very funny.
The Primrose character I relate to is Molly the Cow because, it symbolizes respect for others.
I am most excited this year to instill the love for learning in kids which will help strengthen their foundation for their future.
