Hello my name is Mrs. Abragao
I’m so excited to be continuing my journey as a teacher assistant in the 3’s program at Greenwich Nursery School. This is my fourth year teaching at GNS, and I feel incredibly fortunate to work alongside Mrs. Campion and to be part of such a wonderful school community.
My husband and I moved to Lopatcong eighteen years ago, and we have three children who keep us very busy and very proud! Our oldest is now a senior at Rutgers University, our middle child is a freshman at Temple University, and our youngest is in 6th grade. All three of our children attended Greenwich Nursery School, and some of our fondest memories are from their time here. I feel so fortunate to be working at GNS, helping create those same wonderful memories for another generation of children.
We also have a 6-year-old Portuguese Water Dog named Lua, who keeps us laughing and definitely keeps us on our toes! In my free time, I love spending time with my family and our dog, being outdoors, traveling, reading good books, and enjoying a cup of coffee.
I’m so happy to be part of the Greenwich Nursery School family. I look forward to creating a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment where each child can learn, grow, explore, and feel loved.
I can’t wait for another wonderful year at GNS!
Hello my name is Mrs. Andersen-
I'm the Director of Greenwich Nursery School and this is my 5th full school year with GNS. I want to work hand in hand with the teachers, parents, and our GNS Board to continue to offer high-quality programs that will serve the needs of our community and instill a love of learning through play in our students. I joined Greenwich Nursery School with a strong background in nonprofit management and most recently served as Associate Director at United Way of Hunterdon County. I received my B.A. from Juniata College and a Masters in Public Administration from Seton Hall University. I reside in Franklin Township with my husband, Mark, and my daughter, Emily, who was in the 4s class in 21-22. In my spare time, I love to travel and spend time with my family.
Hello, my name is Mrs. Banes-
After retiring from teaching deaf and multiply handicapped children, and later preschool children with disabilities, I found that I was having a difficult time leaving the field of education and my work with young children. I then started at GNS as a teaching assistant in the 4’s program, where I stayed for one year.

When my identical twin granddaughters were diagnosed with autism at the age of three, I decided to stay home with them and help implement their special education programs. Once they began attending school full-time, I was thrilled to return to GNS as a float and to teach art to the 4’s classes.
I also have the pleasure of teaching Sign Language to our older students. The children really enjoy learning theme-related signs and then sharing their new skills with their families.
I live in Franklin Township with my husband, daughter, ten-year-old granddaughters, and our English Cocker, Petey. In my spare time, I love to cook, garden, and enjoy crafting.
I am so happy to be returning to GNS and look forward to working with your children! I am excited to teach them a new language, introduce them to the wonderful world of art, and help make learning a fun and meaningful experience.

Hello, my name is Mrs. Butler-
I am excited to begin my third year as a teacher assistant in the 2.5 class. I am also looking forward to working alongside Mrs. Hearn this year! After attending East Stroudsburg University I held a project manager position at a Medical Advertising agency until I started a family and then volunteered within the Greenwich School District. Fun Fact - My husband and I attended GNS, as well as all 3 of my daughters (now 19, 16, 15). My passion is working with children and I am beyond excited to be part of GNS again! When I am not in school, you will find me on the sideline cheering my girls on when they are playing Field Hockey and Lacrosse. In my free time I enjoy hiking, baking and relaxing on the beach. I feel especially lucky to be able to work with such great families and their children. I look forward to helping your children grow and develop in their time here at GNS!!
Hello, my name is Mrs. Campion-
This is my fifth year working at Greenwich Nursery School and I am excited to be working with the 3's classes again with Mrs. Abragao and Mrs. McNally. This will be my third year as the group teacher for both the M-W and T-Th classes and the Friday Extended Learning Day where we will go “Around the World” to learn new cultures and traditions, and once again I will be working with Mrs. Rieger as the assistant teacher for the STEAM enrichment class. Over the last five years I have also had the pleasure of being an assistant teacher in the 2+, 3’s and 4’s classes. My husband and I have been living in Stewartsville for 28 years and we have two children, ages 23 and 20. Early Childhood Education has always been a passion of mine. I studied Early Childhood Education at Raritan Valley Community College but then decided to be a stay-at-home mom to be able to raise our children until they were old enough for me to follow my dreams. During the last 15 years I have also volunteered as a 1st Grade teacher at St. Mary’s Church. Working with children always brings a smile to my face, and I am excited to have the opportunity to work with your children this year!

Hello, my name is Mrs. Cox-
This is my second school year working with the amazing staff at Greenwich Nursery School. I have 2 children. One went here years ago, and one is currently here. I get to see him learn and go to work sometimes at the same time. I get to help the children in different classrooms with art, playing, crafts, snack time, and anything else they need. I enjoy being outside with nature, gardening, and crafts. I am excited to be working with the children this year!
Hello, my name is Miss Heather-
Hello, my name is Miss Heather-
I am excited to be a part of the GNS program. I have been working as an assistant at the summer camp for 4 years and as a substitute. I graduated from college at The College of New Jersey, studying Elementary Education and Psychology in May 2025 and am working as a substitute. I have always wanted to be a teacher, and working here gives me that opportunity. Lastly, I like to be called Miss Heather because, fun fact, Mrs. Campion is my mom and that would be confusing for the children. I am excited to have the opportunity to work with your children!

Even though I have officially retired after teaching at GNS for 27 years, I am happy to say that I will still be involved in two ways. I will be a Sub for this 2026-2027 school year as well as being a member of the GNS Board. I am excited to still be involved with GNS and its wonderful staff as they foster a love of learning in your children. It’s going to be a great year for all!
Hello, my name is Mrs. Mrotek~
I am looking forward to starting my seventh year at Greenwich Nursery School as an assistant teacher in the 4's program. I am also looking forward to working with Mrs. Hearn for the first time this year! I have had all three of her children 🙂 When I am not with the kiddos you may see me in the office with Amy on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I grew up in North Jersey, graduated from Montclair State University, then moved to this area and lived in Stewartsville for 21 years. Before GNS I have done project management, accounts payable/receivable, substitute teacher, and Girl Scout leader. I really love being a parent and a part of this community. Both of our girls attended GNS and are now in college! I will always remember that warm and fuzzy feeling the first day I visited GNS, and I still get that feeling as I enter the building today. Nowadays, my family and I love to binge streaming shows, hang with our dog and 2 cats, bake, visit amusement parks and walk. I look forward to meeting your child and watching them grow, learn and have fun and am grateful that I will be a part of their preschool experience.

Hello, my name is Mrs. Porter ~
I am beyond excited to be returning to GNS for my fourth year! I will be in the 4’s class as an Assistant Teacher, Monday-Friday and I can’t wait for all of the fun we will have this year! Prior to moving to New Jersey, I spent three years teaching preschool in North Carolina, where I loved creating a fun and nurturing learning environment for children to thrive. My journey and passion for early childhood education were first sparked by my two daughters, who showed me how incredible young minds can be. Their curiosity and creativity inspired my passion for helping children grow, learn, and discover the world around them. I am truly honored to be a part of the GNS community and to spend my days with our amazing 4's! I look forward to watching your child learn new skills, make friends, and learn how to navigate their big feelings. In my free time, I enjoy running, reading, and spending time outdoors with my family, friends, and my sweet dogs. I am looking forward to working alongside Mrs. Hillier to make your child's year filled with excitement and wonderful memories.

Hello, my name is Mrs. Rieger ~
As we begin this school year, I will be “switching it up a bit”. Entering my 14th year here at Greenwich Nursery School I’m excited to be joining Mrs. Campion in the 3s MWF Programs. In addition to the 3’s, I will continue to strive to make the STEAM Enrichment Program exciting and fun- working with Mrs. Campion again for our fifth year! I think we’ve got this! My educational background didn't start with teaching. I graduated from Montclair State College with a BA in Business Management and a minor in Psychology. I then had a career in the business world for almost 20 years before I got married and started our family. I am a proud parent of two boys - ages 21 and19. Both of them currently attend The University of Scranton. My oldest is a senior majoring in Cyber Crime/Homeland Security and he’s currently studying for the LSATs. My youngest is a sophomore studying Bio-Chemistry. They both attended the 3's and 4's programs here at Greenwich Nursery School. The amazing experience that we had with the caring teachers and the administration is what prompted me to go back to school and earn my Early Childhood Education Teaching Certificate. Thank you for entrusting me with the gift of being one of your child's first teachers. Greenwich Nursery School- it is truly a very special place!

Hello, my name is Mrs. Tino -
This year I will be a GNS substitute. I am so happy to be part of this wonderful school. My husband and I live Union Township with our two children. Teaching is a great love of mine and I am glad to be able to substitute this coming year. I hold a standard elementary education teaching certificate and have worked in various educational settings. My experiences working with preschoolers with disabilities have strengthened my ability to differentiate learning so that each child can reach their full potential. In my spare time, I can be found digging in my garden and trying to wrangle my Rottweiler puppy. I am excited to work with your kids and feel privileged to do so.
