Our Program

The child is viewed as a unique and complex individual, grounded in a cultural heritage, and embodied with potential. To support these capable, curious thinkers, we provide a nurturing, engaging environment that will balance boundaries with freedom and discovery.

• Nurturing teachers support child’s play by encouraging independence, creativity, inquiry, patience and respect for others.
  
  
• A combination of hands on learning experiences throughout the day that fosters the child’s inquisitive nature.
  
  
• A balance of child-initiated and teacher-directed experiences occur throughout the day that include individual, small group, and whole group interactions.
  
  
• Weekly music, movement, gardening and Jewish enrichment activities led by specialists  to enhance the classroom curriculum.
  
  
• An environment infused with Jewish culture, values and traditions. Jewish holidays and weekly Shabbat experiences are celebrated throughout the year.
  
  
• Large outside playground with equipment and materials to encourage physical motor play and ample space to explore and enjoy nature.
