Hi everyone! I'm Esther Romero! I've been teaching at PS 111 for 8 years in the Gifted and Talented Program. My passion for education came later in life for me. I had just turned 30 and wanted to change my life. I decided to go back to Graduate School at Hofstra University to study Childhood Education. I did my student teaching work in Gifted and Talented classes, that is where my passion grew. I decided to become certified in Gifted and Talented education and set my sights for PS 111. I feel lucky coming into work knowing I have the dream job, working with amazing teachers, surrounded by the most caring and amazing students a teacher could ask for! I look forward to meeting you all soon!

Hello! My name is Ms Hernandez. PS 111 has been my home away from home for 15 years! In that time, I've enjoyed teaching classes from Pre-K to 3rd grade, and have always had a passion for teaching little ones how to read. As an educator, there's nothing more exciting than seeing a child's eyes brighten because they've learned something from you💜
