Meet Laura Sutherland

Laura is a recent graduate of Needham High School, but is better known to the children as the master swing pusher. Her quiet, comforting presence encourages the children to seek her out for a story or an imaginative play game. This summer Laura will be working with the three and almost three year olds in Team Alef.

When not at TBS Laura is a drama aficionado, singing, acting in and stage managing plays and musicals.

Meet Molly Tobin

Having grown up at TBS, Molly loves spending time at TBSCC, recalling the days many moons ago where she walked the same halls. Molly is a careful observer of young children, watching their thoughts and imaginations unravel and learning something from every child. She is a student at Wheaton College where she is a history major and education and Judaic studies minor.

This summer Molly will be working with our four and almost four year olds in Team Bet. Welcome Molly!

Meet Alyssa Griffith

Alyssa is always ready to lend a lap to a child, whether at music time, or to read a book. On the playground, can often be found digging in the sandbox or helping the children with an elaborate pretend scenario, but it's also not unusual to hear, "Alyssa, will you push me on the swings?" When not at TBS Alyssa likes to exercise and relax at the beach.

Meet Mikah Atkind

From active playground games to endless construction projects, Mikah brings much energy to our summer days. Between her work as a counselor and volunteering in the afternoons, Mikah is keeping very busy this summer. In a few weeks she will be traveling to Israel where she will be studying for the fall semester.
