Working with different staff members. I value learning about different cultures from others.

Meeting new children and their family’s getting to know a new group of students and watching them grow. Each day brings new opportunities to inspire and guide them.

My philosophy that guides my work with young children is based on allowing the children to construct their own knowledge by emphasizing hands-on learning. For instance, through arts and crafts, music, games and other forms of movement, the children are encouraged to build upon what they know and make sense of new information in meaningful ways.

Furthermore, by creating a supportive and interactive environment they are also more inspired to ask questions, share their ideas and think critically.

My motivation for helping children grow and develop as young individuals inspired me to become an early childhood educator. Encouraging children to implement Judaism into their personal day to day life as well as making a positive impact on their lives at such a crucial stage incites me to teach.

Furthermore, forming meaningful connections with them is a big motivator for me. Plus, creating a fun and supportive learning environment where children are encouraged to be curious, creative and passionate about their culture furthers my passion in teaching.

My favorite classroom tradition and activities include reading, baking, playing games, engaging in different forms of exercises such as yoga and dancing and also doing a variety of arts and crafts. Having fun in the classroom is equally important as learning and sparks greater interest in the topics for them.

Whether it is for a Jewish holiday or any other subject matter, I strongly believe that these activities strengthen their knowledge and enjoyment.

Temple Emanuel’s ECC stands out from others because of its inclusive and supportive community of faculty and teachers. All of the staff is committed to fostering a positive and enjoyable learning and working environment.

I love how children have the ability to be theirselves. It makes my job easy for me to communicate with them and to better understand what their interests are.

Temple Emanuel is a very special and happy place.

Children can get a better understanding of what Judaism is.

I look forward to working with the children each year.

I strongly believe that each child is like a flower bud, that will bloom at their own pace. As long as they are surrounded by love, care, respect and patience, they will open up to be a beautiful flower.

I love performing science experiments and reading stories to my students.

Temple Emanuel Early Childhood Center is a very kind and caring community that never excludes anyone.

The ECC Director is very knowledgeable and is always ready to help the teachers as well as parents.

I feel that incorporating Judaism in early years is crucial for young children, because they will get curious about everything and eventually will wanted to learn more about their Jewish heritage.

Student at Santa Monica college

I believe that every child deserves to be loved, respected, and nurtured as if they were my own. I strive to create a safe, welcoming environment where each child feels seen, valued, and supported emotionally and developmentally. By building strong, trusting relationships, I help children grow with confidence, kindness, and a sense of belonging. I aim to meet each child where they are, honoring their unique personality, culture, and pace of learning.

I love performing science experiments and reading stories to my students.

What inspired me is that as a child I was very quiet and shy and my teachers have made me feel safe and seen I still remember them and how they made me feel and I would like to make school a fun and special place like my teachers did to me

My favorite classroom activity is felt stories and reading each child is paying close attention with bright eyes which is the best part and when they find something funny their laughter is the best.
