I am very excited to join the teachers and students here at Temple Beth Shalom this year! As a teacher, my main educational philosophy centers around helping children develop and foster their own innate creativity. When given the time and environment, children are endless resources of artistry, imagination, and inventiveness. Supporting creative developments inside the classroom allow us teachers to guide children to create their own problem solving techniques. Creativity encourages young children to become confident, and goes along to further assist the development of critical thinking skills. In addition, creativity inside the classroom gives embodiment to children’s thoughts and ownership of their emotions. It is a special kind of freedom and it also allows us to have fun!

I feel privileged to be able to share my love of creativity and adventure with the students and parents of Temple Beth Shalom. I find great joy in watching young children discover new talents and reach higher levels of understanding about themselves and the world around them through books, play, and hands on activities. I try to bring patience, learning, understanding, humor, and fun into the children center classrooms here at Temple Beth Shalom.
