Your child's journey begins here.

Values-Based

• Each child has capability and potential (Tzelem Elohim)
• Deep respect for one another and the environment (Tikkun Olam)
• Importance of relationships, belonging, and building community (B’rit)

Focused on Social and Emotional Development

We believe that this is the foundation upon which all other learning may occur.

• Self-Expression (recognize feelings, identify emotions, ask for help, share ideas, problem-solve)
• Self-Regulation (use words to express feelings, build strategies to cope with big emotions, sustain attention, recognize need for quiet time)
• Self-Confidence (take pride in work, ideas, take risks)

Family Engagement and Celebrating Jewish Life

We celebrate Jewish life and engage families to create a partnership in the learning and to build a strong community where all are welcomed.

Social Constructivism

We believe that children learn about the world by interacting with the people and materials in it. Therefore, it is important for us to be thoughtful and intentional in our relationships with children and in the materials that we provide for children.

• Teachers create engaging and authentic learning experiences.
• Children and teachers co-create the learning. That is, teachers work as guides and researchers alongside the children to provoke their curiosities and expand their thinking process.
• Children engage in short- and long-term projects that originate from a continuum of conversations and learning experiences in the life of the classroom.

Jewish Curriculum

We create sacred time and space to celebrate Jewish rituals and traditions, including Shabbat, Havdalah, and Jewish holidays and festivals.
