Miss Amy - The director of Grace Place is a former teacher of Grace Place.  Miss Amy received her BA from Stockton University. Miss Amy is also a member of Lord of Life church and is very dedicated to the success of our school and our families. 

Miss Manna is feeling blessed to teach the 4’s this year. She has her BS in Elementary Education. Her husband is retired from the US Coast Guard bringing them and their three teens from Alaska to Shamong to be near extended family. Miss Manna looks forward to getting to know her students and helping them to grow through play, great books, and group activities.

Miss Dawna is our teacher in the older 3's and young 4's classroom. Her approach to teaching allows the children to express themselves in the classroom. Miss Dawna holds a master's degree in education. The children have so much fun exploring a creative approach to learning, socialization time, and lots of free play. 

Miss Theresa is excited to lead our 2 1/2 - young 3's classroom.  Theresa & her husband Mike live in Medford Lakes with their 4 children.   Miss Theresa has her master's degree and through the years has found herself much happier working in early childhood development and continuing her education.  She has taught religious education classes for over 20 years, a Girl Scout leader for 12 years & is the Director of the Medford Lakes Colony Preschool Camp. She is looking forward to another great school year.
