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
- 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.
