SCDS Directors

Picture
​​I can not imagine a job I would enjoy more than teaching. Seeing the joy on a child's face when they finally "get it" is one of the most rewarding things I can imagine. ​

I have been teaching since 2009.  I have my B.S. in Psychology from Purdue University and my M.Ed. from National Louis University, and I have trained with the Midwest Montessori Teacher Training Center, the Center for Jewish Montessori Education, and the Jewish Montessori Training Center. I believe strongly in the Montessori method and in pairing this with Judaism to create fantastic learning opportunities for our children. I am excited and awed at the opportunity to share my passions and beliefs with our community, and look forward to many, many years of doing so.

Daniella Adar, Director of Elementary

Since I began teaching in 2008, I have dreamed of opening a Jewish Montessori preschool. I am passionate about education and love how beautifully Judaism and the Montessori Method work hand in hand to provide children with a rich educational experience. I love seeing all different children thrive in this nurturing environment and develop their unique talents and abilities.
I have a Degree in Early Childhood Education and an International Montessori Teaching Diploma for ages 3-6, and I have trained with Midwest Montessori Teacher Training Center, as well as the Center for Jewish Montessori Education. I am grateful daily for this incredible opportunity of helping children reach their potential.
