Yal-Day-New Hosts Three Israeli Educators

This week, Yal-Day-New played host to three Israeli educators visiting the United States!

Yesterday, alongside their Israeli visitors, Executive Director, Lindsay Harvey and Toddler Teacher, Rebecca Hassan, had the opportunity to visit three Jewish Early Education Centers as well as the Orchard House (home of Louisa May Alcott), the Concord Public Library and the Discovery Museum in Acton.






The group was eager to meet and speak with Governor Deval Patrick and Thomas Weber, Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care, regarding the importance of Jewish Early Education.


 



Today, after Executive Director, Lindsay Harvey, and Toddler Teacher, Abigail Bartalini, accompanied their Israeli visitors on a tour of the Perkins School of the Blind, the staff and students of Yal-Day-New welcomed the Israeli visitors with a delicious Kosher lunch and tour!

The Israeli visitors were kind enough to lead a dancing activity for the Preschool and Older Toddler Classrooms! They played Hebrew music and handed out Israeli flags for the students to dance with! It was an educational - and fun - experience for all!

To show their appreciation, the students created a book of art work for their visitors, entitled: "Welcome to Boston!"

Thank you for visiting! We hope you enjoyed Yal-Day-New! Come again!
