Mrs. Rivka Dear

Mrs. Rivka Dear knows CTA well as a former teacher in the early childhood program (ECP). Morah Rivka received her master’s degree in early childhood education from Long Island University in 2010. She gained further teaching and administrative experience as the head of the 4Y team at Queens Gymnasia, supervising six classrooms and a hundred students. Her philosophy and expertise in early childhood education mesh perfectly with our system of learning through play. Mrs. Dear demonstrates expertise on current theory, pedagogy, and developmental awareness. Since joining CTA in 2016, she has trained the preschool staff in understanding and implementing conscious discipline, which has transformed our program.
