laura creteau
Preschool director
Laura first connected with CPC preschool in 2021 as a parent, when she brought her older daughter to meet the teachers and immediately fell in love with the warm and welcoming community. Both of her daughters went on to attend CPC Preschool and absolutely loved their time there.
Since then, Laura served as a substitute teacher and then led the 3-year-old class—experiences that deepened her connection to the school and its mission. She is excited to step into the role of Director, and continue the school’s caring, play-based approach, supporting the values that make the school so special.
Before becoming a parent, Laura spent 13 years teaching in public schools. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree at TCNJ and her Master’s Degree from Rutgers University. She loves working with young children and brings enthusiasm, teamwork, and a genuine care for the families she serves.
Outside of school, she enjoys reading, running, hiking, and biking with her family. She’s also a volunteer with her daughters’ Girl Scout Troops, Girls on the Run, and teaches CCD. Each summer, she looks forward to spending time with her family at the beach in Cape May.

zach morano
facilities coordinator
I officially joined Clinton Presbyterian Church as a member in February of last year, though I have been a regular attendee since 2021, and have lived in the Clinton area for most of my life. My wife, Emmaline, first introduced me to CPC and I have since come to love the friendly and welcoming culture here. Currently, I live in Washington Borough with my wife and our lovable dog, Winston. I have spent the majority of my career working in the HVAC and construction industries, and am now working towards obtaining my plumbing license with a company based in Oxford, NJ. My free time is often spent cooking or working on a home project, though I also enjoy taking long walks outdoors, exploring nature, and savoring a glass of good wine.
I am very excited to serve as Facilities Coordinator and hope to use my skills to keep the church in tip-top shape so that members of the church and surrounding community can continue enjoying the facilities for many years to come.
