Rivky Gurevitz, Kitah Alef (2's) Teacher

Hi!

My name is Morah Rivky.  I am married with three children.  Some of my interests are reading, swimming, and playing with playdough.

I love working and playing with children.  My experience with children has been varied.  I am the oldest of six and worked as preschool day camp counselor, student taught in seminary, taught fourth grade, two year olds and four year olds.  Being in the classroom, really brings at the best in me.  Watching the children grow through play and crafts.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Human Development from Empire State.  It enhances my ability to scaffold and create the right environment for your child, as well as have the additional insight to interact on a developmental level.

I look forward to playing and growing with your child!

Sincerely,                                                                                                                                                                             Morah Rivky
