My name is Eden Bird, AKA “Mrs. Bird”. I have been part of The Pre-School and the After School program for over 30 years. My job is Administrator and I over see our After School program. One of my greatest pleasures of being here for so long is seeing some of our earliest students now returning with their young children. I am blessed to be the mom of two sets of twin girls (all grown up) that were born and raised here in New Rochelle. My goal each and every day is to ensure the safety, security and happiness of each and every child that attends our school.

I believe in a classroom community that has a balance of academics and socialization experiences. The students in my class are challenged to help them develop their skills and knowledge, but also feel nurtured enough to know it is okay to make mistakes and learn from them. The Preschool Learning Center is a wonderful family and I am privileged to be a part of it.
