As a teacher, I believe that play is the core of early childhood education. Through meaningful play, children develop a foundation of social emotional skills that leads to future success in school, at home, and in the world around them. Play provides a safe space for children to become confident, creative, social and independent problem solvers through their interactions with their peers and teachers. As teachers, it is our job to scaffold these opportunities in order to foster well-rounded, successful children that will thrive in society.
As an early childhood educator, I place strong emphasis on social and emotional learning while helping children prepare for grade school. I value a team-teaching environment where multiple experts assess the needs of each child and collaborate to design an effective curriculum. I then weave in an activity-based Jewish holiday curriculum and help children connect to their Judaism.
When exploring teaching positions in early childhood, I carefully assess the Jewish community to determine if I can learn, grow and contribute. With that mind, it was instantly clear to me through interactions with children, families, teachers, administrators, clergy, and temple members that Temple Beth Shalom would be the right fit for me. Inasmuch, I would like to thank the whole Temple Beth Shalom community for welcoming me with such open arms. I look forward to a wonderful new year!

We look forward to getting to know you, Steve! TBSCC is such a magical, warm community. Our school takes such a unique, child-led, hands-on and creative approach to Jewish learning. My children have absolutely flourished at TBS. So glad you decided to join the family. :)
