United Orthodox Synagogues Goldberg Montessori School was founded in January 1976 by Rabbi Joseph Radinsky. Ms. B.R. Simon introduced the concept of Montessori to the program, and Ms. Tinker Paley served as the first administrator. Hetty Perl was the Director until her retirement in 2010 when Debra Kira became the Head of School. UOS Goldberg Montessori is unique in that it is the only pre-school/kindergarten program in the entire southwestern United States to successfully combine a rich Judaic curriculum with the motivational Montessori guidelines set down by Maria Montessori one hundred years ago this year. UOS Goldberg Montessori, that began with one classroom and a Mother’s Day Out program, has now grown to 4 primary classrooms and 3 toddler classrooms. We are proud to employ a staff of 18 wonderfully dedicated, talented teachers.
