It is indeed a pleasure and a privilege to tell a little bit of the story of our honoree, Veronica. We want to talk about a uniquely talented educator who has contributed so much to the Palm Beach Gardens JCC preschool as its director, and also to early childhood education on the national level as well.

Veronica moved to Florida from Argentina as an adult and shortly thereafter began working at the JCC. The challenge of learning a new language was never a deterrent. Veronica read voraciously, studied, and conferred with many professionals to be the best she could be. We believe she has succeeded!
