Hello everyone my name is Rahman! I'm a certified Teacher Assistant and a professional Child Care Provider for the last ten years. This fall I'll be continuing my education in Early Childhood Education at Brooklyn College. I have three amazing daughters, eighteen outstanding nieces and nephews. I enjoy spending time with my Family & friends. I love to read, dance, watch tennis and travel. Being around kids has taught me patience and at times you have to put yourself in their little shoes.

I plan on continuing to share my unique experiences with Kinder Prep Brooklyn Heights.What I hope for all the kids is, when they transition into chapters of their life's that it's ok to fly a kite, jump in puddles, pretend, build a fort, play in the rain, pick your nose, run around barefoot & imagine. Dream big & whatever they decide to be in life make sure it makes them happy.

My name is Victoria Wallak and I have been working in childcare for more than ten years with children from the ages of 3 months to 5 years old while also going to school to continue my education in Elementary and Early Childhood Education with a minor in Psychology. From an early age I knew I wanted to work with children as I am the oldest of 8 siblings and have always found joy in teaching and helping them grow. Being the Director here at Kinder Prep gives me the opportunity to bring all the knowledge I have in the classrooms to the center I have been with for almost three years. I was fascinated by Kinder Prep from the first day I came in for my interview because of the amount of care they truly put into their centers. The owners Renata and Irina always listened to my ideas and allowed me to grow as a teacher while exploring my teaching abilities. When I was promoted to assistant director I found a different love I had not experienced in child care. Being a part of a team that truly puts the kids first and offers them the best education and resources available to them while also putting the families and their needs first was inspiring.
I give my all to the children here at Kinder Prep and truly do consider my parents, children, and staff our family. I will always put them first and offer the best care I can while also being as supportive and communicative through the children’s early education journey.
