Ben Farber

Ben Farber is a father, professional juggler, philanthropist, preschool teacher and author of a hilarious children’s rhyming story called Alpaca In The Back’a My Car! Professionally trained in juggling at the San Francisco Circus Center for over 10 years, he uses his talent to amaze and inspire. In fact, juggling is what led him to work with children.

“When I was 20 years old, I juggled for a preschool called Little Learners, because my friend worked there and invited me. The kids had so much fun watching me perform, I was asked to work there. This is what inspired me to study Early Childhood Education from Cañada College. I’ve always used my juggling as a tool to be helpful, that’s why I call it Beneficial Juggling. I would juggle for the children in the afternoons and tell them in the mornings to behave if they wanted to see my new tricks after nap time. This worked so well with the children, I quickly understood why I became a preschool teacher without ever asking.”
