Early Childhood Program
“Imagine that all children are seeds that come in a package
without a
label. That means we cannot know in what season they will
bloom, and we may not always know the conditions they
need to thrive.”
–
Blessing of a Skinned Knee by Wendy Mogel
The
JCC Early Childhood Program
offers a safe, nurturing environment, providing children
with the opportunity to develop socially, emotionally and
cognitively. We maintain a developmental philosophy
emphasizing an emergent curriculum and
child-centered classes that
concentrate on hands-on experience, experimentation, and
creative expression. Jewish values, culture and holidays are
an integral part of our program.
Our teaching staff holds a wealth of expertise in early
childhood education and is carefully selected for their
experience, warmth and sensitivity. Teachers are members of
the Jewish Early Childhood Association of the Board of
Jewish Education of Greater New York and follow the
guidelines of NAEYC (National Association for the Education
of Young Children.)
