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 Gratz College, and 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. |

Shalom! I am very excited to be a part of the Kol
Emet preschool. I am a graduate of the Pennsylvania State University
where I majored in Early Childhood Development with a specialization
in Nursery School and Kindergarten education. I have been a teacher
and a director for 30 years in an early childhood program which
I founded in Frackville Pennsylvania. My philosophy for early childhood
education is that children learn best by doing and to insure that
each child is actively involved in the learning process while having
lots of fun!
