Early Childhood Center

A Relationship-based Community

Rooted in Jewish culture and values, our early childhood center engages children, families and early childhood professionals of all backgrounds and beliefs in an atmosphere where all people feel welcome and connected. The power of unity and the comfort of belonging sets the tone for lifelong interactions and commitment to others.

Our Commitment

Our teachers and children together build a foundation for innovative thinking, problem-solving, compassion and being resilient members of our community.

What We Believe

Early childhood education is more than preparing children for future success in school, it’s about honoring the process of childhood and supporting all children in realizing their full potential.

 

Why We’re Exceptional

With the distinct advantage of being part of the Mandel JCC, experiences are greatly enhanced in a multigenerational environment filled with play and exploration in outdoor spaces, classrooms, gymnasium, pool and early childhood studio space.

 

Why We Succeed

Our teachers create a learning environment and experiences that spark wonder and creativity, build confidence, and nurture a love of lifelong learning. Families are partners in the work that we do – together we are caretakers for each other and for our school community.

Our Philosophy

Philosophy_IMG_8358.jpg
  • Children are unique, naturally curious and capable learners.
  • Children learn best through play – developing physically, cognitively, emotionally and socially.
  • Relationships are critical in helping all individuals feel safe in order to learn and grow.
  • We value families as primary caregivers.
  • Our educators are collaborative learners and innovators who nurture kindness and teach and model essential self-regulation skills.
  • We create learning environments that are safe, nurturing and inclusive for children, staff and families.
  • Family engagement builds a healthy school community.
