Marcy Mandel, Judaic Education Specialist and Educator
Morah Marcy first discovered her love of teaching when she was in high school working as a Madricha for CBE's religious school. She later attended George Mason University while continuing to work as the religious school's Special Education Resource Teacher. Marcy also worked as the Assistant Director for BEECC's Summer Adventures. After receiving her B.A in Early Childhood Special Education with a minor in Jewish Studies, Marcy returned home to work as an Assistant Teacher for BEECC. She also worked at the Pozez JCC in Northern Virginia and the Goddard School.
Marcy is thrilled to return to CBE and BEECC; her time here began her path as an educator. Marcy is a life-long learner as she continuously works towards becoming the most supportive and compassionate teacher for each child she has the privilege to work with. Marcy believes that children are naturally curious, inquisitive, and eager to learn about the world around them; it is each educator's responsibility to foster child development through fun learning experiences and a warm environment. In her spare time, Marcy loves to paint, crochet, and cuddle with her cat.
Meghan Keyes, Secular Education Specialist
Morah Meghan has been volunteering and working with children for over ten years. Over those years, she has worked in a few different childcare and educational environments, including a youth program at a community center, a volunteer counselor at an outpatient facility for teens, and most recently as a BEECC educator.
Meghan discovered her passion for teaching from watching her mom put all her heart into teaching students as well as Meghan's and her sister's education experiences. Meghan received her degree in Early Childhood Development from Purdue University Global. She is passionate about supporting children in their social and educational development.
Meghan loves seeing children grow, learn, and develop different skills throughout the course of a school year. This year is her fifth at BEECC; she is a big believer in our Reggio-inspired approach and believes children are capable of anything they put their minds to. In her personal time, Megan loves to snuggle her bearded dragon Mulder and spend time with her niece and nephew, and plan her next trip to Disney, Meghan's favorite place!
