For over 15 years Andrea Gosselin has devoted her education, volunteer work, and career to early childhood education, with many of those years spent at University Synagogue Pre-School. Starting in 2009, Andrea quickly immersed herself in the University Synagogue Family. She began working for the Pre-School and Religious school, moving her way up from an assistant teacher, to Afternoon Program Lead, to Assistant Director. Andrea takes on her role as Director of University Synagogue Pre-School with a full heart and continued devotion to seeing the inclusive and nurturing legacy, that founder Heidi Kahn created, continue to grow and thrive. Andrea graduated from California State University Fullerton with a Bachelor’s of Science in Child and Adolescent Development and a minor in Early Childhood Education. As a lifelong learner, Andrea enjoys continuing her education participating in professional development courses and seminars each year. Her belief in the importance and power of early childhood education has come full circle as she welcomes her own young children into the preschool.
