Our Curriculum
 

Our curriculum includes activities that are hands-on, developmentally appropriate and frequently initiated by children. A significant part of each morning is dedicated to free play. During this time children are encouraged to make choices, explore, create, socialize with their peers, and learn the art of problem-solving and negotiation. This is done with the support and facilitation of our experienced teachers.

Every classroom has age-appropriate materials and equipment, allowing the child to investigate math, Jewish life, science, literacy and social studies at their own pace. Teachers provide structure, watching and listening carefully to determine the interests of each group, and then develop activities that build on these areas of interest.

Judaism is woven into all our activities. Our program introduces Jewish holidays and rituals through songs, literature, play and art. Shabbat is celebrated each Friday. An introduction is to Hebrew, a love for Israel and the teaching of Jewish values continually strengthen the children's Jewish identity.
