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.)

The Early Childhood Program is licensed by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services.
