Meet Rina P. Collins
For as long as I can remember, children gravitated towards me. I was always the teacher’s helper and knew at an early age that my career would focus on kids. After getting a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and a master’s degree in teaching literacy from birth to 6thgrade, I got a job in the New Jersey public school system. I was randomly assigned to a preschool class and it changed my life forever!

Our Teachers
Our hand-picked team is here because they love to teach and are passionate about exploring the wonder of the world with your child through reading. All of our teachers have worked in the public and/or private school systems and have early childhood education experience. Each teacher is trained by our founder Rina Collins in the Book Nook philosophy, and exudes compassion while addressing your child’s personal needs and paying close attention to their behavior and academic growth.
