Vicki Weinstein
Vicki grew up in Great Neck, N.Y. She went to Hofstra University, receiving her BA in Psychology/Education.
She worked in the Great Neck Public School System for 2 years. Her love for early childhood education brought her to Temple Israel Bet-ha-Gan for 2 years. She then spent the next 7 years at Temple-Beth-El teaching three year olds.
After marrying her husband Mark Weinstein, she took a few years off to raise their five children, Max, Lauren, Amanda, Sam and Harrison. She missed the early
childhood environment and looked to work close to home. She then worked as a separation teacher in both the Dix Hills Jewish Center and Temple Beth Torah.
Vicki was given the opportunity to serve as Director of the DHJC Early Childhood Academy. Being part of the ECA “feels like home” according to Vicki.
She is honored and thankful for this opportunity.
