4K PreSchool

Hi! My name is Molly Bongel. I am one of the Early Childhood teachers here at St. Bernard Catholic School. I began my path in childcare shortly after graduating from Preble High School. After the birth of my first child I became a nanny for a wonderful family who I worked with for more than 9 years. These experiences helped me make the decision to continue my education and work to obtain my Associates degree in Early Childhood Education at NWTC. While working towards my degree I had the opportunity to student teach at a few Day Care Centers as well as under multiple teachers at St. Bernard. I graduated with highest honors and earned my Associates degree in December 2014. This is my third year as a teacher here at St. Bernard Catholic School and I love every minute of it. I believe in the importance of making school a fun and exciting experience for children. I feel that if their first years in school are fun and inviting, children then look forward to all the possibilities that learning has to offer as they grow. I see each child as the unique individual they are and do my best to adapt their environment and learning experiences to meet their individual needs and interests. When I am not working I enjoy spending my time with my husband and 3 children. I also enjoy reading, arts and crafts and running with my two Labrador retrievers.
