Welcome to the Dr. Rocco G. Tomazic Preschool Academy

It is my great honor and privilege to welcome you to the Dr. Rocco G. Tomazic Preschool Academy, the newest school in Linden Public Schools and a special place created exclusively for our youngest learners.

The preschool years mark the beginning of a child’s educational journey and are filled with discovery, wonder, questions, friendships, and countless opportunities to learn and grow. At the Dr. Rocco G. Tomazic Preschool Academy, we are committed to nurturing each child’s natural curiosity and fostering a genuine love of learning that will last a lifetime. We believe that every child deserves an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, welcomed, valued, and confident as they begin their educational experience.

As part of Linden Public Schools, we proudly embrace our ROAR framework—Resilience, Opportunities, Achievement, and Relationships—and believe that every child deserves a place to shine. These principles guide our commitment to creating a joyful and nurturing school community where children are encouraged to explore, take risks, develop independence, build meaningful relationships, and celebrate their individual growth.

I am excited to build a school community where children are at the heart of everything we do. Together with our dedicated educators, staff, families, and community, we will create an environment where our youngest learners are encouraged to explore, discover, create, develop, and flourish.

We recognize that educating a young child is a partnership. We look forward to working closely with our families to support each child’s unique strengths, needs, interests, and development. Together, we will create meaningful experiences that help our students build confidence, develop independence, form positive relationships, and discover the excitement of learning.

Thank you for entrusting us with such an important part of your child’s educational journey. It is a privilege to welcome your family into our school community, and I look forward to working together and watching our students ROAR, learn, grow, and thrive throughout their preschool experience and beyond.

With warmest regards,

Frank Minniti, Principal
