Nitzanim

Bella Grace Harris (they/she)

Nitzanim (3 y/o-preK)

Bella is eagerly anticipating being the lead teacher for the Nitzanim! Bella aims to teach little ones from a place of compassion, flexibility, and play. A graduate from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, you may have seen them for the past two summers performing in Commonwealth Shakespeare Company's Shakespeare on the Common. But they also have a minor in Child and Adolescent Mental Health, which has served them well in their additional passion, working with kids. Bella was a preschool/mommy and me teacher at Gymboree in Manhattan, the head of day school at The Tiny Scientist in Brooklyn, and has been working with little ones professionally for over a decade. Bella loves the fiber arts, autumn, and their cat Pearl.

Hannah is so excited to return to teaching at Dorshei as the Nitzanim Assistant Teacher. She is a senior at Concord Academy and has spent the last 3 years as a madricha in Kitah Alef. Aside from working with children, Hannah loves performing arts, reading, hiking, and spending time with her family, and is passionate about her Jewish identity. She loves being able to continue her participation in the Dorshei community as a staff member, and hopes to spark a similar passion in her students.
