Our school provides a warm nurturing environment emphasizing individual and small group activities. Each light airy classroom is tailored to the size and needs of its students. All rooms open onto a common hallway in the middle with a terrace playground on either side each appropriate to the size and skills of the children. Our staff includes specialists in music and movement and our students develop a profound love of learning which continues to serve them well as they go on to the very finest on-going schools in our city.
The Early Childhood Learning Center like Temple Israel as a whole approaches Judaism as a tradition and heritage to be celebrated by everyone who wishes to participate. Friday mornings include a brief “Shabbat” ceremony with the rabbi present to teach traditional blessings and songs. Holidays and festivals are acknowledged with art music food and inter-generational activities in the Temple. The congregation holds special “Tot Shabbat” services to introduce our youngest members to the joys of Judaism.
