Pre K B-Ms.Nieves

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! It is an honor to welcome you and your child(ren) to Holy Family. I know sending your little one to school can be a little frightening, but please know your children are looked after and cared for here in Holy Family!  This year will be full of fun, and is a time of growth for your child.  The skills we practice daily in PreK are the building blocks for your child’s future.

A nurturing, loving and faith-based environment is provided here in Holy Family. We focus on developing the whole child mind, body and spirit.

All students in our classroom are part of a close-knit community that allow them to gain self-confidence, responsibility and to foster cooperation.  We play, learn and grow together! PreK is so much FUN!! 

                                                                 About the Teacher:

Hello! My name is Melissa Nieves Sanabria, and you can call me Miss Nieves (fun fact I love to tell the children- Nieves means “Snow” in Spanish!). I am proud to say I teach at Holy Family School. My previous experience includes teaching in early learning centers in New York City since 2002, and here in Pennsylvania as a family service worker for the CCIU and a Preschool 3 teacher for the Phoenixville Area Children’s Learning Center. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and Psychology and a Master’s degree in Human Services.

There is a great importance on developmentally appropriate instruction with an emphasis on social-emotional learning, beginning literacy, and math in the classroom. Spanish language is also incorporated in the classroom as well. Examples of kindness in accordance with our Catholic faith are a regular part of our day.

I look forward to getting to know your children and you throughout the school year. Weekly class newsletters will be emailed to you so you’re aware of class happenings, special events, and reminders. If you have questions, please email me at Mnieves@myholyfamilyschool.org. Thank you and as my mother would say “Dios te bendiga y te compaña” (God bless you and be with you).
