(Jun 2008) After graduation I got a B.A. degree in speech pathology (1967) from Indiana University and an M.A. in early childhood education (1969). I recently got another M.A. in Jewish Art (2006).
Since 1975 I've been living in Israel with my wonderful husband, Ami. We live near Jerusalem in the village of Anatot, home of Jeremiah, the prophet. We have one son, Micha.
All these years I've worked in early childhood, either teaching, lecturing or advising, including 5 years as advisor on early childhood education for the Golan Heights, when we lived there.
In addition to my usual work, I travel around the country working with immigrants from Ethiopia, who have young children. I have written two handbooks for kindergarten teachers. The first, for teachers in developing countries, was translated into seven languages. The second is for teachers of Jewish kindergartens in Russia. I have taught courses in Thailand, the Philippines and Russia,mostly for the Cooperative Division of the Foreign Ministry.
