Temple B'nai Israel Early Childhood Center

At TBI Early Childhood Center the philosophy behind our curriculum is that children learn best by doing. In their early years children explore and experience the world around them through their senses. They see touch taste feel and hear everything and everything is new and wonderful.

Learning is also social interactions developing the social and emotional attitudes so necessary for success throughout life. It is making choices in a supportive loving environment that allows for mistakes. It is being cared for in a respectful way so that a child learns to respect and care for others.

At TBI Early Childhood Center it is our philosophy to provide a rich full environment of experiences so that our children will have a foundation upon which all other learning can be built. Recent research of a childs growth and brain development indicate that learning at the preschool level takes place through play. Play provides the building blocks for academic or school learning. Through structure and play we will achieve the key goals of our curriculum. Play is the work of young children.

Positive reinforcement is always stressed so that each child can reach his or her potential for cognitive physical social and emotional growth. It is our purpose to challenge each child to progress at his/her own rate of development through self-direction in a grounded framework. TBI Early Childhood Center will provide a quality education in an atmosphere of security and love.
