Shalom and welcome to the Preschool at Congregation
Kol Emet. My 25 years of teaching and administration have given me
many important life lessons. First, your child’s safety and
happiness will always be our top priority. Second, we will always
listen and learn from our parents and children. Our school is committed
to reaching its full creative and professional potential as an ideal
warm, supportive, and excellent environment. As a mother of 4, I understand
the importance of education and parental involvement in the classroom
and at home. My background includes Directorships at 2 presschools,
12 Years as a presschool teacher and 4 Years as a kindergarten teacher.
I am certified in Education from Rutger’s University. I have
a Pennsylvania Preschool Director’s License and a certification
in Jewish early childhood education. I attended Graduate school at
the Jewish Theological Seminary and earned a Master's at Gratz College in Jewish Education and Early Childhood Education. I studied Early
Childhood Education at Columbia University and Tel Aviv University.
I know that together we will create a constantly growing vision for
our Preschool. |
