Alef-Bet Child Care Center
Preschool in Cambridge, MA 02139
Our mission at Alef-Bet is to provide a warm and joyful introduction to Yiddishkeit, the practices and traditions of Judaism. As a Jewish school, Alef-Bet incorporates basic Jewish events and values into our curriculum. We celebrate Shabbat and holidays together as a family; articulate a love for the Land of Israel; teach Jewish middot (compassionate behavior) to the children in each classroom; and build a community together. By celebrating the Jewish holidays and learning about Jewish values and customs, we hope every child here will come to have a joyful and positive identification with this heritage. The families and staff reflect the broad spectrum of Jewish observance as well as those from other faiths. This diversity is well accepted at Alef-Bet Child Care.

Our basic philosophy is to care for children with warmth and guidance in an environment that allows them to develop and express their own personalities. The teachers take pleasure in helping children acquire the skills to separate from family members, to share and play with other children and to feel confident to perform a myriad of self-help skills. We appreciate that children have their own timelines for developing these skills. We keep in close communication with parents.
