Enrichment & 3's  Teacher 

My name is Christina Renoni, and I’ve been a member of the Jack and Jill family since 2016 when my son started attending school here, and I joined the teaching staff a few months later.  The love and compassion is what drew me in, and continues to be what keeps me here. I have an MA in Expressive Therapies and Mental Health Counseling from Lesley University, where I focused my studies and internships working with children, as it has been a lifelong passion. I continue to use music, movement, art, drama, literature, and play on a daily basis! What better way to communicate and teach! I feel so fortunate to be able to work with the children and families at Jack and Jill, I want to thank the families for trusting me with the support and education of their littlest loves.
