Maria Pell
Maria has her Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education. She has been a teacher at Playschool since 2010 when her middle son was a student. She and her husband Don have four children and one grandson.
During the summer, Maria and her family usually spend a lot of time at the Jersey shore with her parents. Maria loves spending time with her family, swimming, hiking, or just singing along to music at home. Life is never dull at the Pell household! Playschool has become a very special place for Maria, Don, and their kids. They have all made lifelong friends during their time at Playschool. In fact the children still regularly see the friends they made in the Yellow Room!
