A teacher who worked at two Queens yeshivas and a Long Island elementary school was arrested after cops found child pornography on his home computer, cops said yesterday.

Two online tipsters told state police that Timothy Holt, 44, of Baldwin, sent child pornography over the Internet last month.

Cops seized the divorced father's computer and allegedly found nine videos and pictures depicting sexually explicit images of children.

Holt, who pleaded not guilty to felony child-pornography raps on Friday, worked as a third-grade teacher's assistant at the Birch Elementary School in Merrick and taught Earth science at Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim and Yeshiva Tiferes Torah.

"We are shocked and saddened by these charges," said a Yeshiva Chofetz representative who would not give his name.

State Police Inspector Carlos Ramos said there was no evidence that Holt had inappropriate contact with any of his students but he's been fired from all three schools.
