Kaboodles Learning Systems was founded by Theresa Pasqua, a mother, educator and business owner whose passion is children! She holds several NJ teacher certifications in Elementary Education, Middle School Language Arts, and High School Business Education and Marketing, as well as a M.Ed. She is presently enrolled in a Ph.D. program with a concentration in Literacy Education. Her partner, Nicole Koopman, holds an M.A. in Exceptional Children and specializes in verbal communication. She has a NJ certification in special education. Combined they have over 20 years experience educating both main stream and exceptional children. Both Mrs. Koopman and Mrs. Pasqua possess an overwhelming desire to offer all children opportunities for more hands-on, multi-sensory learning experiences that actively engage kids, stimulate self expression, creativity and discovery. Through the use of music, games and active play, visual and performing arts, cooking and baking, skills such as socialization, gross and fine motor skills, verbal and written skills as well as math, literacy and scientific concepts are enriched and enhanced. These programs offer authentic learning experiences for all children and are especially beneficial to exceptional children.
