Ms. Mulkey
Preschool Integrated
Greetings Preschoolers and Families,
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! This is the year for our youngest learners to shine brightly in the classroom. It will be a year of magical wonder and amazing growth for your little star. I am thrilled to be on this journey with you. I want to know all about you, but first I’m going to tell you a few things about me.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude from William Paterson University in 2018 with certification in Early Childhood Prek-3, Teacher of Students with Disabilities, and Elementary Education K-6. In November of 2021, I earned my Masters in Applied Behavior Analysis.
My heart has always been in the preschool classroom. In fact, prior to going back to school I owned my own home daycare for six years. In addition, I have 3 amazing sons that are just as excited as I am to start my seventh year here at Fair Lawn. My beautiful boys, Zachary age 19, Marcus age 15, and Luke age 11 keep me active and always laughing!
I would like to introduce our full day paraprofessionals, Ms. Grete and Ms. S. We are so very fortunate to have them in our classroom.
I believe that communication is the key to your child’s success and to a great parent/teacher relationship. Therefore, I encourage you to contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or just want to chat. You can reach me via email at Emulkeykoltzan@fairlawnschools.org or call the school (201) 794-5500 ext. 7056 but the best and quickest way is through Our Remind App. It is instant, free, and completely private.
I am looking forward to a fun filled, creative, and developmentally successful school year.
Sincerely,
Ms. Mulkey
