Bio
Sari Abrams has been an educator at Pressman for 24 years. During that time she has served in a variety of roles including lead teacher in the ECC, Parent and Me facilitator, and Parenting Institute Coordinator. For the past 10 years she has served as the Director of Parent and Child Education. In this role she teaches parenting classes, meets with parents individually to address questions and concerns around parenting, provides parenting resources to all the parents and, along with other members of the Wellness Team, facilitates programs and education for parents. She also mentors the Early Childhood Teachers and works on curriculum for the Early Childhood Center at Pressman. She served as a mentor for graduate students in the Master’s in Early Childhood Education program at AJU, and is currently an instructor in the BA and MA Early Childhood Education Program at AJU. She was a member of the inaugural cohort of The First 36 Project Fellowship, a professional development program for educators working with parents of children ages zero to three. Much of Sari’s expertise around parenting derives from her experience in “the field” as she has raised three boys who are now 35, 31 and 23.
