Who am I ?
I am A professional early childhood educator.
As the proud owner of Makom Ba’Lev, I bring years of experience and passion for nurturing young minds. With a background in early childhood education, I have dedicated my career to creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where children can thrive. I believe that the early years are critical for cognitive, social, and emotional development, and I am committed to fostering a love for learning from a young age.
At Makom Ba’Lev, I ensure that each child receives personalized care and attention, with a focus on building strong foundations for their future success. I collaborate closely with families to create a community of care, recognizing the unique needs of every child.
My mission is to provide a space where children feel confident, curious, and cared for, while incorporating early childhood Jewish studies and the Hebrew language. I believe that by integrating these cultural and linguistic elements, children gain a deeper sense of identity and connection to their heritage, all while fostering essential cognitive and social skills.
