ECSE Inclusion
Hi Pittman families! My name is Holly Rothschild. I am thrilled to be teaching another year of Pre-K. This is my 15th year with CCSD and my 15th year at Pittman! I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Special Education. I adore children and I love watching the incredible growth made in just a year’s time. Pre-K sets the foundation for a love of learning and gives young learners the skills to manage their emotions. When I am not at school, I am just as busy at home with my 3 children. My daughter Lily is 17, and I have two boys, Ashton, 12 and Hudson, 5. My husband Elan and I are usually on the soccer field on the weekends cheering our daughter on. We love taking family trips and celebrating any little accomplishment like learning a new vocabulary word, good grades and soccer goals! I am looking forward to a fabulous 2025-2026 school year!
