Hi, I am Emily Sosa, “Miss Emily” and I am excited to teach Preschool this year at Primrose School of Morristown. Here’s some background information, I’m a January Aquarius & was raised in Elizabeth, NJ with my younger sister, mom, and dad. I moved to Bridgewater, NJ about 1 year ago with my sweet boyfriend of 4 years.

 I graduated in 2019 from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, NJ with a Bachelor's degree in Art & Psychology. For the past 4 years I have enjoyed working in the early childhood education field, I have worked at multiple childcare centers as well as a Primrose School where I gained many skills. Throughout the years I love getting to know how children discover the world by celebrating our differences and having their families get involved with their customs and traditions.

I enjoy being a teacher and pushing my students to their fullest potential. In my spare time, I love to visit new places, try new foods, work out, and spend time with my family. I am also undergoing the process of completing the Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential which is the most widely recognized credential in early childhood education.

My name is Swati Thakkar. I am an experienced CPA Certified Preschool Teacher.

Before I came to the USA, I was working as a Corporate Lawyer in India. After becoming a mother of two lovely children, I could learn so many beautiful things where I can see through the little minds. And since they started going to preschool, I realized the role of a teacher in a child’s life is right after the parents. Especially, in Early Childhood, if you can give a child the most comfortable feeling where they feel loved, cared and secure, the transition becomes smooth. So I decided to work with the little explorers.

My goal as a Preschool Teacher is to make a child feel as special as they feel when they are with their family. Teaching them through play, child-directed activities, and at the same time, motivating them to do what they are very much capable of.

I have received training & experience through Creative Curriculum, High Scope Curriculum, Reggio Emilia based curriculum & Montessori Method of Teaching where daily activities play a vital role in the child’s basic learning skills. I strongly believe in the thought, “We must not assess what the child knows or knows how to do but what he or she could do IF…. We are the IF”
