The Early Childhood Center of the Jewish Community Center of Harrison is dedicated to enriching the life of young children spiritually emotionally socially intellectually and physically. We work to enable children to know who they are as Jews – to gain knowledge of our traditions history observances and language and to translate that knowledge into Jewish living.
We are committed to an early childhood setting that is respectful of people and their differences in an environment steeped in creativity that encourages an active curiosity about the world in which we live. In partnership with parents and the synagogue community we aim to provide a lifetime love of learning. As such we believe that play is the most important “work” of the young child.
Through play children construct their understanding of the world and acquire the physical intellectual and social skills that will be the foundation of their later success in school. Play helps children to work cooperatively communicate feelings express and work through conflicts and follow rules. Play promotes imagination creativity and memory. It provides ongoing opportunities to experiment explore and learn. Here at the Early Childhood Center we have carefully created an environment that encourages and values children’s play.
