Your Child's Preschool Journey Begins Here: A Welcome from Our Principal
Dear Prospective Families,
Welcome to Tiegerman Preschool at Far Rockaway, where our mission of “teaching the extraordinary” is at the heart of everything we do. I am Michelle Costantino, and I am truly honored to serve as the Principal of this wonderful program!
Tiegerman is more than just a school—it’s a family, and by joining us, you become part of a supportive, nurturing community that believes in empowering each child to reach their full potential.
As Principal, I will work with your child’s full team to provide him/her with an exceptional education that meets New York State learning standards. Your child will participate in engaging hands-on learning experiences that will draw upon his/her educational goals in all developmental domains (i.e., cognitive, language, motor, social-emotional). In addition, my staff and I will foster a welcoming school environment that promotes the ideals of kindness, generosity and responsibility.
When your child walks through our doors, they will feel loved and happy. Our school will be their second home and it will be a safe place. My staff and I will treat them like our very own.
I am so excited to embark on this journey with you and your child! I look forward to meeting you very soon! Please never hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
