Raising a child is no easy task, and having a team of skilled and compassionate teachers supporting my son’s growth has been an incredible gift. As Reggio Emilia educator Amelia Gambetti wisely said, “Our job is too difficult and too beautiful to do alone.” The Shalom staff embodies this philosophy, seamlessly navigating the challenges of early childhood education while bringing joy, wonder, and excitement to each day.
When my son began at Shalom, he didn’t just enter a classroom—he became part of a family. His days are filled with warm greetings from Meir, hugs from Lindsey and Natalie, playful music with Maia, movement and dancing with Miri, nature exploration and Shabbat with Jamie, and a deep sense of care and love from the entire team.
I couldn’t imagine sending my son anywhere else for his first school experience. We are beyond grateful to be part of the JCC family.
