Gifts from the Samuel and Jean Frankel Heritage Foundation and the William Davidson Foundation enabled the renovation. The ECC now includes state-of-the-art learning suites, a central square or kikar for large gatherings, a kitchen, a large indoor playscape, teacher work- spaces, and an outdoor playground and garden. The expanded ECC has room for 180 students, up from 140. “The expansion of the early childhood education program at Hillel benefits our entire Jewish community,” said Darin McKeever, president/CEO of the Davidson Foundation, earlier this year. “More children will be able to begin their Jewish education in their preschool years, establishing their Jewish iden- tities within a community committed to religious and academic excellence.” Staff of the expanded ECC at Hillel Day School PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF HILLEL DAY SCHOOL Alan Kaufman, Robin Pappas foreground, Ellen Folbe behind her, Darin McKeever, Scott Reed, and Naty Katz Eric Bronstein and Rabbi David Fain Amy Berman with Jacob, Blake, Benjamin and Allyson Berman Alan and Sue Kaufman Manny Menchel, Adina Levin, Steve Weisberg and Ralph Gerson thejewishnews.com For all the breaking news and Online Exclusives Go to BUY • SELL • I NVEST Throughout South Florida, Including Boca, Boynton, Delray, Broward and Miami-Dade Counties Nina Spinner-Sands NinaSpinner-Sands@keyes.com (954) 290-8293 Rita Morse RitaMorse@keyes.com (305) 609-7559 Let Old Friends be your Michigan-Florida Connection Estate Property Sales from Listing to Clean-Out!
