What We Do?
We collaborate with students across the United States to execute all aspects of the college admissions process. Beginning as early as freshman year, we advise students about high school curriculum and extracurricular options.
We guide students throughout the entire college admissions process, from school and major selection through application submission, transforming a potentially stressful experience into a pleasant one.

Makom Ba’lev by Shira Shika
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.
