A certified and licensed early childhood educator, Shaina holds degrees in both child development and psychology. She has taught courses and given workshops on creative curriculum and child development. She has also created an original and developmentally appropriate curriculum for early childhood. Her “Preschool Planner” is the single most downloaded item on the educational website, “echinuch.org”, reaching thousands of schools around the world.
In line with her philosophy that meeting a young child’s physical, academic, social and emotional needs reaps benefits that last a lifetime, “Morah Shaina” develops the preschool program to address all areas of early childhood development. Together with open ended and mutli-sensory learning experiences that incorporate joy, exploration and skills into every preschool theme, she strives to create an environment where children feel safe and loved so that they can develop to their fullest potential. She believes that curriculum should be driven by the students’ interests and creativity so that all of their daily experiences help them to develop to feel special. Understanding that every child develops at a unique pace, she works closely with the teachers to ensure that each child’s needs are met and that they each enjoy an enriching and happy experience at the preschool.
