Hi ! My name is Jillian Watson and I teach the Bright Eyes Classroom.

About Bright Eyes

The Bright Eyes classroom is designed help 3 and 4 year old students with developmental delays meet their developmental milestones and enter Kindergarten. The classroom is very lucky to have a full-time Speech Therapist and a full-time teaching assistant. We take a multi-sensory approach to help the students increase their school readiness, reading readiness, math readiness, fine motor, gross motor and social/emotional skills.

There are 2 sessions of Bright Eyes- the AM session is for the 3 year olds and the PM session is for the 4 year olds.

About Me

I attended Rowan University for my undergraduate degree and have completed graduated work at William Paterson University to earn a Teacher of the Handicapped Certificate and Elementary(K-5) Teaching Certificates.

I started teaching in 2002 for the Bergen County Special Services School District in Bergen County, NJ. While working there I taught at 2 different schools-The Norman A. Bleshman Regional Day School for children with multiple disabilities and the Washington South School for children with Autism.

I have been teaching at New Albany School since September 2004 and I really enjoy teaching!
