Eileen Kaplan has served as an Early Childhood Director for more than 40 years. She has led a broad range of secular and Jewish preschools, including a program on a working farm, an ultra-Orthodox school in Texas and 18 years at Temple Beth Orr. These experiences expanded her ability to teach effectively and connect with families from many backgrounds and faiths. While in Texas, Eileen returned to the classroom part-time to learn emerging approaches and to collaborate with her teachers as a colleague before stepping back into her director role each afternoon. She credits that experience with strengthening her leadership and deepening her appreciation for the work her staff does.
She is looking forward to collaborating with the BCS team to make our school the premier program in the area. Eileen strongly believes we are blessed to have this opportunity to grow.
