Our Early Childhood Program lays
the foundation for a lifetime of integrated learning. Jewish and
general studies are melded into a program which encompasses the
holidays, prayer, and middot while simultaneously exploring
science, art, literature, music and physical activities.
- Physical
Development:
Large motor skills are developed by climbing, running, and jumping in
our well-equipped gym and playground.
- Social and
Emotional Development:
Because they enjoy the school experience, our children develop
confidence in their learning capabilities. They learn to relate well
to their teachers and each other. They feel confident that they may
express their feelings freely and appropriately in an atmosphere of
mutual respect. Constructive play provides our children with the
opportunity to develop social and interpersonal skills.
- Cultural/Artistic Development:
Our children appreciate art through free and creative expression.
They explore various media through singing, percussion
instrument and listening.
- Intellectual
Development:
By teaching reading readiness and early math concepts, we spark our
children’s interest in the world around them. We encourage a
love of literature through classroom and library activities.
- Jewish
Consciousness Development:
Our goal is to create an environment where children learn about and
experience Jewish values and customs. They learn about Israel,
past and present. Our curriculum focuses on Biblical
personalities in the weekly Torah parsha as well as tefillot and brachot.
- Hebrew Language
Acquisition:
We stress a spoken Hebrew language environment based on the latest
Brain Based Learning research which targets three-six as the foremost
opportunity for language acquisition.
