Esther Betesh is a seasoned child development specialist with over two decades of experience dedicated to supporting children’s academic and social-emotional growth.
With a background in general and special education as well as psychology, she was privileged to study and train under Drs. Stanley Greenspan and Serena Weider, whose developmental approach continues to inform her work.
Esther has led and shaped educational programs with a strong emphasis on meeting the unique needs of each child, including co-founding and directing Gan Academy in Crown Heights for seven years.
Drawing from both traditional and progressive methodologies, she has developed a thoughtful, multi-modal curriculum designed to help every child reach their fullest potential.
