Our Community

Our teachers are dedicated and caring professionals with experience teaching in Jewish preschools. They hold degrees in early childhood education or related fields, and all are engaged in ongoing learning.

Our Director, Kathy Kaberon has worked in Beth Emet's Early Childhood Program for many years and holds a graduate degree in Early Childhood Education. In addition, a consultant from the Virginia Frank Child Development Center is a key member of the early childhood team and serves as a valuable and accessible resource for parents.

The Early Childhood Program is an integral part of the Beth Emet Synagogue community. The clergy actively participate in the school, visiting our classes, leading weekly Shabbat singing and engaging in informal discussions with our parents and students.

Our parents are involved with the program on an informal and formal basis, attending parent-teacher conferences, visiting the classrooms as Shabbat guests, engaging in adult learning and participating in  family programs throughout the year. Parents have the opportunity to become involved in the Early Childhood Committee, which supports the school and helps build a community among our families.
