Meet the Team
Faculty
Perry Wolff
Director
Perry Wolff has been an educator for nearly 20 years. Yet even prior to receiving her teaching degree in Israel, she spent time in educational positions directing summer camps and teaching in Sunday Schools. She has held teaching positions in Jewish day schools nationwide.
More than her administrative duties at The Gan, she most enjoys her time in the classroom and loves engaging the little preschoolers in thought-provoking conversations.
When she isn’t having fun with the kids at The Gan, she is home enjoying her own six children.
Chasha Weunch
Educational director
Lead Teacher
Chasha Weunch has worked in schools inspired by Reggio Emilia and Montessori
philosophies. Chasha began working with children in first and second grade but her last 6 years have been dedicated to early childhood education. Chasha creates her own curriculum which incorporates Jewish values in the classroom, and utilizes her degree in Biology to explore nutrition and science with the children.
Apart from the classroom, Chasha enjoys biking, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
Miriam Jochnowitz
Assistant Teacher
Miriam has been an educator for over 30 years. She has experience in the full range of preschool positions. Through conversation and open-ended questions, Miriam is deeply committed to helping children learn how to investigate their world, find solutions to their problems, and express their thoughts and ideas in positive and creative ways.
