    Elizabeth Maklowski, Center Director

    I grew up in Massachusetts and attended Westfield State University where I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology while minoring in Women’s Studies and Communications. For several years, I was employed as a Nanny, before being hired as a Toddler Teacher at Kiddie Academy’s location in Hoboken where I received Teacher of the Year for 2016. I soon relocated to the Secaucus location as Assistant Director of Education and am currently the Center Director. I am passionate about Early Childhood Education and believe learning should be fun!

    Melanie Egnatowicz, Assistant Director of Education

    I have been working with children for a total of 15 years. I began with babysitting children of family and friends and progressed into the childcare environment in 2011. I have enjoyed every minute molding the minds of the children and helping them reach each and every appropriate milestone. I have an AA in Early Childhood Education and a BA in Family and Child Studies from Montclair State University and I am P-3 Certified in the state of NJ. My heart has always lead me to children. The knowledge that I helped them prepare for the next chapter in their young lives has always been a reward and a blessing for me. Recently, I became the assistant director of education, where I am looking forward to strengthening the implementation of the life essentials curriculum.

My daughter has learned so much at Kiddie Academy Secaucus. It’s evident in her knowledge of language, colors, animals, and so much more. She has become such a well adjusted toddler thanks to the social interactions she receives from the attentive teachers and classmates. I know she is safe and in great hands.

Maria H., Secaucus

The teachers are extremely professional and genuinely care about the children in their care. They create fun activities for the students and structure the day so there is art, music and physical activity in addition to story time and other learning fun. Everyone we've encountered has been wonderful and I would highly recommend Kiddie Academy…
Emily P., Secaucus

My association with KA Secaucus goes back since 2015 when my elder son was part of the After care group. It was the most safest and secure place for us. Later on, my younger one started at the age of 1 and can't believe he is graduating KA Kindergarten this June 2022! A great place…
Bindu B., Secaucus

I love the set curriculum each day and the care the teachers take with students.
