Born and raised in London, England, Mrs. Wilk has nearly four decades of experience in Early Childhood education. After leaving England she lived in Jerusalem, Israel before arriving in New York. She was always involved with her children’s school, became President of the parents association, and at the same time embarked on her career as an early childhood educator. After teaching for many years, she completed a leadership course through the Lookstein Center and Bar Ilan University and became preschool director and director of admissions at Shulamith School of Brooklyn, while still maintaining her job as a preschool teacher. She loves fostering a strong sense of self in children, encouraging them to grow in both social-emotional, secular, and Judaic Areas. She, herself, is a lifetime learner. Her passion for teaching children has made her a creative, warm, and exciting teacher, who treats each child as an individual. She feels that her job is comparable to someone in the diamond business: She takes raw gems and helps polish them into shiny diamonds. Mrs. Wilk is excited to join the Zucker community and is looking forward to celebrating the student's many milestones.
