Beth Hoch,
Director of Early Childhood Education
301-299-7087 ext. 222 ⋅ bhoch@harshalom.org
Beth Hoch is new to the Sherman Early Childhood Center this year but not new to Har Shalom. She comes to the Sherman ECC from another local Jewish early childhood school where she built a successful program for children and families for the last four years. Prior to directing Jewish early childhood schools, Beth spent eleven years teaching and later serving as an administrator in early childhood education in the Plano, Texas public schools.
Beth has a passion for Jewish early childhood education and creating an environment where children are growing and challenged. Beth feels parents are partners and that we work together in the classroom, at home, and in the synagogue to nurture each child and help them grow cognitively, socially, physically, and spiritually through a variety of learning experiences.
Active members of the Har Shalom community, Beth and her husband Gerry have two wonderful boys, Noah and Ari. She has a BA in Social Work from the University of Kansas and teaching certifications from Texas A&M in Early Childhood-4th grade, English as a Second Language, and K-12th Special Education.
