Teacher Spotlight: RI's Melanie Rivera 'Goes Above And Beyond'

RHODE ISLAND — Great teachers matter. In Rhode Island, we’re fortunate to have teachers like Melanie Rivera.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize teachers and show them how much they’re valued and appreciated.

This submission comes from an anonymous co-worker who nominated Melanie Rivera.

How do you know the teacher?

I’ve known her for more than 15 years

What does this person teach?

Teaches pre-school

Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

She goes above and beyond in her teaching, her care for the children, and is her passion to work with children other than her own. She’s a role model. She teaches with a caring heart. And I have seen all this throughout the years.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

In our center we have two sides of preschools we have a Headstart side and a preschool/pre-k side, she teaches at the/K side. Her work is spectacular, she prepares the children for their journey to kindergarten learning, with knowledge of what will be expected for them to succeed.
