School Staff


Our educators and therapists

Our team of educators and therapists work closely with schools, from administrators to educators, to ensure that all students have the support they need to thrive in a Jewish day school.

REACH is the third partner between parents and schools to ensure that every child succeeds. 

At REACH, we’re committed to the idea that children do well if they can – a philosophy that comes from the Collaborative Problem Solving approach.
