Megan Nachod, Kitah Dalet Ivrit and Kitah Gimel Judaics (Tuesdays)

Megan (she/her) is the Playschool Director at our congregation and has worked with children and their families for over 20 years in a variety of settings, including special education settings, inclusive classrooms, Head Start, and full day childcare. She has been a teacher, Case Manager, Special Instructor, and Program Director and is delighted to have returned to her roots as a Jewish educator. Jewish education remains closest to Megan’s heart because it unites her joy of working with children and her love of Judaism. She values the dynamic opportunities that a Jewish education program has to connect children with meaningful rituals that link them to older generations. Megan received her B.A. in Liberal Arts from Shimer College, outside of Chicago, and studied at Xavier University in Cincinnati for her M.Ed. in Early Childhood Education, specializing in Montessori Education for 3 to 6 year-olds. Megan resides in South Philly with her daughter and son.
