Early Childhood Center
3 Months - Pre K
The Early Childhood Center (ECC) provides unique opportunities for emotional, social, creative, physical and cognitive development of each child within a Jewish environment. A warm, loving atmosphere permeates the center. We embrace the entire family as the children embark on their first educational journey from 3 months through Pre-Kindergarten.
Trained professionals celebrate the uniqueness of each child and facilitate opportunities for learning through hands-on activities. We provide each child with a safe and nurturing environment that will meet the developmental stages of each child through a wide variety of activities that will facilitate the construction of knowledge.
Our program offers a language and print-rich environment for emergent literacy skills. Children learn problem solving skills as they are presented with challenging situations. They learn independence through the exploration of quality materials. In a positive, age appropriate setting, our Judaic program is seamlessly integrated into all themes, with an emphasis on Jewish values and the celebration of holidays.

Pre-K
This program nurtures the children’s love for learning, social skills and their interest in exploring the world around them. Developmentally appropriate activities encourage the deepening of children’s cognitive skills, especially literacy and numeracy development. Pre-Kindergarten children enjoy an introduction to Hebrew using puppets, games, stories, and music. Other special projects include science, cooking, group games, library, music, and outdoor physical activities.
Spanish Immersion
Children have the opportunities to practice language individually and in small groups after initial assessment of fluency
Participate and engage in Spanish literacy activities: through books, story-telling, songs, conversations in context.
Scaffold communication by combining words in Spanish with body gesture or visual cues in order to increase Spanish language acquisition.
Our physical environment creates learning spaces that can support the goals. Pre-K students have spaces and materials to build, create, collaborate, discuss, and engage in the language.
