Preschool Directors on Shlichus were empowered and recharged at the Chabad Early Childhood three day retreat in Parkland, Florida.
The annual retreat is a rejuvenating experience for preschool directors to learn, connect and recharge together. Chabad Early Childhood is the international network supporting Chabad preschools on Shlichus with curriculum resources, teacher training, and more.
“Everything was done so well, so perfect, a great balance between the activities and workshops, it was so Inspiring and rejuvenating,” wrote Mrs. Dvonye Korf, Shlucha and Preschool Director in Los Angeles, California. “It’s so incredible to meet so many other directors so driven by the same values!”
The many highlights included hearing from Mrs. Mindy Becker, preschool owner and concourse discipline certified instructor, Mrs. Brooke Frenkel psychologist and child behaviour specialist, Clay Goldstein, team and trust building coach and Limor Sharoni, natural arts instructor. Shluchos also got to gain from Mendy Halberstam, experienced lawyer and veteran preschool directors, Shluchos Mrs. Rivkah Denburg, Mrs. Rivkie Spalter and Mrs. Chanie Kaller.
The program included networking opportunities, delicious food, and self-care sessions.
“It’s a zechus to care for the Rebbe’s shluchos and gift them this meaningful opportunity to connect, recharge, and bring renewed inspiration back to their preschools,” shared Mrs. Rivky Baitelman, Director of Chabad Early Childhood. “ At the retreat, a shlucha expressed that the Yiddishkeit in her preschool is thanks to the support and resources from CEC. She described how she can confidently hand over the CEC curricular units to her staff, knowing that Chabad values shine through each lesson. I am grateful for moments like these, as it proves that we are fulfilling the Rebbe’s mission!”
This beautiful retreat was made possible by a generous grant from Machne Israel, one of the three central mosdos of Chabad Lubavitch. We thank Rabbi Shmaya Krinsky for facilitating this grant.
Special thanks to Rabbi and Mrs Biston of Chabad of Parkland for graciously hosting the event.
We also extend our appreciation to Mrs. Rivky Baitelman, Director of Chabad Early Childhood and Retreat Coordinator; Chaya Schapiro, CEC Administrator; and Mrs. Bassie Shemtov, Co-Director of the Shluchim Office.
