Molly Mills, ECC Infant-Toddler & Family Center Coordinator

Shalom chaverim! Molly Mills here. I am the VBS ECC Infant-Toddler & Family Center Coordinator. Let me begin by offering a huge THANK YOU to the VBS community. As the newest member of the staff, my family and I have been welcomed with arms wide open, and the result is that I feel instantly part of this amazing extended family. Kehilah (Family and Community) is where it all starts. The Infant-Toddler & Family Center (ITFC) is often the gateway into our Early Childhood Center, Day School, Youth Center, and the greater temple community. From the beginning, we want our families to enter our doors with a sense of connection to something bigger. 

Who we are: The ITFC is a group of educators devoted to being your children's first teachers and guiding families through the first few years of parenthood. Through the lens of Jewish culture and tradition, our children learn about themselves, their values, and our community. We embrace the uniqueness of each child and offer innovative programs that nurture and prepare children for a lifelong journey of discovery through the joy of learning.

What we offer: We currently offer Parent & Me classes from birth to 2.5 years, Baby and Toddler Music Classes, The Family Shabbat Experience, and Grandparent & Me classes with rolling enrollment throughout the year. We are dedicated to meeting the needs of our families and eager to develop original classes and programming. Your suggestions are a bonus. Contact me anytime at mmills@vbs.org 

I welcome you to visit me in my office or one of our ITFC classrooms. Pick my brain about toddler and infant parenting; share your experiences; cry, laugh, worry out loud, and problem solve as we journey through this phase of life. As a mother of two (son Rowan in the ECC Pre-K and daughter Piper in the ITFC Grandparent & Me class) I am going through it all right by your side. 

Not everyone knows we are here�"spread the word!
