Our Early Childhood Center follows the developmental-interactive approach to education. Development means we base our curriculum and interactions with the children on an understanding of sound principles of child development. As for interactive we understand that children construct knowledge and language through active concrete manipulation of and interaction with the people and materials in their environment. Children learn best through the hands-on exploration of materials that are part of their immediate environment and experience. We seek to explore and develop concepts skills and curriculum in an enriched flexible play environment.
Our curriculum emerges from the childrens interests ideas and experiences. Children have a strong disposition to explore and discover and are encouraged to become active participants in learning. An emergent curriculum builds on natural curiosity enabling children to interact question connect problem solve communicate and reflect.
We firmly believe children learn best through play. Dramatic play is an important part of each childs learning experience at Beth Elohim. Through such play children are encouraged to communicate and develop their growing understanding of themselves and their relationships. Through play children access their world and develop important cognitive and social skills that facilitate their learning.
We are an inclusive community and are committed to maximizing the potential and participation of all types of learners in our classrooms. We believe individual differences between students and families are a source of richness and diversity.
