Hello! I am Kristen Hayes, and am so proud to be a part of the amazing St. William the Abbot family! This will be my year sixth year teaching Kindergarten, and I absolutely love it! My husband, Scott, and I have been married for 27 years and are the proud parents of two children, Evan and Abby. Our son, Evan, is 19 and a sophomore in college, studying Applied Mathematics at SUNY Farmingdale. Our daughter is a junior at St. John the Baptist and will be looking at colleges this fall! (How does this happen!?) I obtained my B.S. in Elementary and Special Education from SUNY Old Westbury, and my M.S. in Early Childhood and Special Education at Touro College. Teaching is my passion! I love what I do! I attended both Catholic elementary and high schools, as did both of our children.
My goal is for your child to fall in love with school and with learning! We work hard in Kindergarten, but we have lots of fun each and every day. Thank you for the privilege of entrusting your child to me and I am so happy to spend this most magical year with you!
