 Pine Brook Jewish Center is extremely pleased to welcome Ms. Rosanne Mendelowitz as the new Nursery School Director. She has over 15 years experience in the Jewish service non-profit field, with a degree in Communication from The Ohio State University.
Rosanne spent the past 15 years with the JCC/YM-YWHA of Clifton- Passaic, where she walked in the door looking for a Mommy & Me class and never left! She has a strong administrative and management background, having served as the “Y’s” Assistant Executive Director. While Rosanne’s responsibilities included the overall operation of the facility, her primary focus was on youth leadership, serving as both the Early Learning Center Nursery School and Daycare Director, as well as the Director of Camping Services for a summer camp program serving over 500 children.
Rosanne is very honored to lead such a highly regarded and professionally structured early childhood program and she intends to continue to build and offer a warm, loving program that nurtures children, reinforces their natural disposition to ask questions and find answers and strengthens children’s ability to function as both strong individuals and as caring members of a child-sized community.
