The course was developed and presented by teacher Marissa Koffler, with input from preschool teachers Mish Berkowitz and Chana Rivka Lewin. The topics covered included child development from birth to six, educating the whole child, different types and stages of play, the value of creative art activities, as well as different types of therapies and referral.
At the end of the course, a prize-giving ceremony was held. The assistants received their certificates, and were cheered by children, teachers, and parents in a moving expression of appreciation for the school’s dedicated assistants and their empowerment through education.
