Meet Mrs. Shiffy Goldberger
A YTCTE alumna whose children now attend the school, Mrs. Goldberger is everything you could hope for in a school psychologist. She’s patient, calm, understanding and deeply knowledgeable about child development. When behavioral issues arise, she’s a supportive, stabilizing force who helps clarify next steps.
What I do
I’m the School Psychologist for the Preschool. There’s a lot that goes into that. I meet with parents and teachers to discuss social, emotional, and development concerns, and I do social skills training in the classroom. When needed, I also refer parents to resources in the community for further support.
How I make a difference at YTCTE
I am very passionate about supporting children during their formative years of development. A big part of that is setting teachers and parents up to succeed, too. I help support teachers and parents in their teaching and parenting journeys during these critical years in each child’s growth.
My favorite part about what I do
I feel rewarded when I’m able to make a small difference in the trajectory of a child’s development. Seeing the beautiful smiles on each child’s face is such a wonderful experience!
Parting Words
I wanted to make a difference for Jewish children in our community. Now I get to do that and be part of an amazing supportive team at YTCTE. Every day, I’m thrilled to see the people I work with.
