Tamar Andrews spent her teen years at Temple Isaiah as a high school student attending YULA HS, whose classes were held at here. A graduate of CSLA and CSUN, Tamar holds a BA degree in Psychology and an MA in Child Development. She is completing her Ph.D. in Education at USC. Tamar began her tenure as our Preschool Director in 2003. She is also on the faculty of Cal State Los Angeles Department of Child and Family Studies and UCLA. Tamar works closely with the National Association for the Education of Young Children as a validator for their accreditation program.

The most important reason a family should choose Temple Isaiah Preschool is because they want to join something bigger than themselves. To participate in and feel the joy of being part of a really wonderful community. The best feelings come from sharing: sharing meals at a Shabbat dinner, sharing your home with a friend over for a play date, sharing a lunch when your friend forgot his, sharing a smile, a tear, an important event, and sharing our lives with one another. All of this helps to create children that are true mensches.

Tamar lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Edward, and their four children, Kaila and Shaina, Shalhevet High School students, and Daniel and Joshua who attend Pressman Academy.
