The Reggio Emilia approach is an innovative and inspiring approach to early childhood education which values the child as strong, capable, and resilient; rich with wonder and knowledge. This approach emphasizes hands-on discovery learning that allows the child to use all their senses and all their languages to learn. Please check our about page to learn more about the Reggio Emilia approach and how we weave it into our program. 

Our preschool and other programs seamlessly integrates the Reggio Emilia approach with Jewish values, focusing on respect, community, identity, and learning. We incorporate Jewish traditions, stories, and values into our daily activities, fostering a strong sense of Jewish identity along with a broad educational foundation.

We believe every child is unique, and our educators are trained to recognize and support different learning styles. Our environment and curriculum are designed to cater to a diverse range of needs, ensuring that each child receives personalized attention and support.

Parental Involvement Is Highly Encouraged In Our Preschool. We Host Family Nights, Parent-Teacher Conferences, Field Trip And An Annual Camping Trip For Families. We Also Invite Parents To Participate In Classroom Activities, Whether It’s Just A Few Minutes In The Morning Or Helping To Make Decorations For Our Children’s Sukkah. We Also Provide Regular Updates On Your Child’s Progress Via The Brightwheel App And Welcome Parental Feedback. There Are Different Parent Committee’s Parents Can Join To Be Involved In Ways That Fits Their Passion.

The health and safety of our students and staff are paramount. We adhere to strict health and safety guidelines, including regular cleaning and sanitization, health checks, and maintaining a safe and secure environment for all.

Jewish holidays are celebrated with a variety of activities that are both fun and educational. We engage children in storytelling, arts and crafts, music, and special ceremonies, helping them understand and appreciate the significance of each holiday.

Yes, we have a kosher kitchen, with separate milk and meat sections. All foods we purchase are kosher certified and prepared kosher.

We have a large outdoor area that includes a vegetable and plant garden. We also are home to chicken, rabbits, tortoises, and other animals. Many of our indoor spaces blend seamlessly with the outdoor spaces, to provide a cohesive environment. Indoor and outdoor spaces in educational environments are both essential, each offering unique benefits for the holistic development of children. Indoors, structured learning is supported by resources like books, art supplies, and technology. This controlled environment is ideal for focused activities, fostering cognitive growth, creativity, and individual or small-group learning. Outdoor spaces, on the other hand, present a contrasting learning arena. Here, the natural world becomes a playground for exploration and discovery, encouraging hands-on learning. Activities like gardening or observing wildlife expand a child’s understanding of the environment, nurturing their curiosity and connection to nature. The physical and mental well-being of children is also significantly influenced by these spaces. Outdoors, the emphasis on physical activity – running, climbing, engaging in sports – aids in developing motor skills, strength, and overall health. This natural setting is known to reduce stress, enhancing mental well-being and encouraging imaginative play. Indoors, the environment is conducive to developing social skills, such as sharing, collaboration, and group participation, essential for emotional and social development. In essence, the blend of indoor and outdoor spaces in educational settings is vital. Indoors, a structured and resource-rich environment supports focused learning and social interaction. Outdoors, the freedom and interaction with nature foster physical health, creativity, and environmental awareness. Together, they provide a balanced and enriching experience, crucial for nurturing well-rounded, resilient, and adaptable individuals. This synergy of spaces is key in shaping the educational journey and overall development of children.
