In 1975, my husband Abe and I bought Community Nursery School and the house where it was located in Rockaway Township. For 25 years our family lived in the house and I operated the Community Nursery School. During this time, Abe was a public school teacher in Parsippany, New Jersey. In 1989, Little Learner Academy was my dream that turned into reality. This dream has evolved into two child care centers, one in Rockaway, and one in Budd Lake, New Jersey.Abe and I have three grown children: Jason, Scott, & Marci. Jason and Scott work for Little Learner Academy and Marci is a Rockaway Township Police Officer. Abe and I have 4 grandsons, who are the light of our lives. Ryan and Drew, Justin and Max.
