Hi! My name is Mrs. Colleen Costagliola (also known as Mrs. C), and I am excited to be at St. Mark's Preschool. More importantly, I'm thrilled to be your teacher! It's going to be a fun year full of learning and new adventures, and I can't wait to see what the year has in store for us. I want to know all about you, but first I'll tell you a few things about me.
I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, and I'm the middle child of 3 girls. After graduating from Catasauqua High School, I attended
Clarion State College where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Special Education. I moved to Maryland to begin my teaching career (that was 42 years ago!) I continued my education earning a Master's degree in Applied Technology in Education, and went on to earn my teaching certification in secondary English. I taught for 37 years in Caroline County, retiring in 2019. I started working as an assistant teacher in the 3 year old program at St. Mark's in October of 2019. This is my first year as lead teacher in this program.
I'm married (39 years) to Aniello (Neal), and we have 2 wonderful grown children. Timothy, 29, is a software developer for GM and lives in Georgia. Gabriella, 27, is an RN at Tidal Health in Salisbury and lives in Cambridge.
I'm looking forward to this school year! It's going to be great!
