Mr. and Mrs. Ferber are the proud parents of Our Lady of Perpetual Help alumni, Megan, a senior Bio/Pre-Med major at The University of the Sciences in Philadelphia; Laura, a sophomore Education major at Cabrini College in Radnor; and Matthew, a sophomore at Bishop Eustace Preparatory School in Pennsauken.

I believe that my mission as an early childhood educator is to provide children with a first learning experience that is engaging and fun-filled. It is important to me to create an environment in which children are excited about and love the process of learning. I want them to feel secure and self-confident enough to be imaginative, to express themselves, and to show curiosity about the world around them. By nurturing their creativity and social skills I can establish a strong educational foundation that will help children succeed in elementary school and beyond. Most importantly, I believe the Christ-centered education offered at Our Lady of Perpetual Help School encourages even the youngest of our students to begin and develop a relationship with God. They become aware that God has made each one of them special, and they sense His great love for them.
