We are committed to the
principles of a quality early learning experience, including teacher
professional development, maintaining small group sizes and good
teacher:child ratios, exceeding national and state standards (including
NAEYC), and supporting children and their families. Our Centers have a
strong reputation for teaching Jewish values based in Jewish traditions
and experiences.

Commitment to Teaching
Excellence
|
Teaching young children is a valued profession and a time-honored
Jewish tradition and responsibility. We strengthen and enrich the
knowledge of our teachers by providing ongoing supervision, peer
mentoring, access to creative teaching resources, and continuing
education opportunities.
In the classroom, we are committed to maintaining small group sizes and
good teacher:child ratios.
The JCC Early Learning Centers are fully accredited by the National
Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Accreditation
provides parents with third-party assurance that our Centers provide a
safe and nurturing environment that promotes the physical, social,
emotional and intellectual development of young children, according to
NAEYC's "Criteria for High-Quality Early Childhood Program” standards.
For more information on the stringent criteria for NAEYC Accreditation,
visit the NAEYC web site at www.naeyc.org.

Our Centers have also been chosen to participate in the national Jewish
Early Childhood Education Initiative (JECEI). A small number of elite schools work hand
in hand with on-site JECEI consultants to implement a shared vision of
excellence based on best educational practices and the most recent
studies in brain development and social/emotional learning, all
embedded within a foundation of Jewish values.
The Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care licenses all
of our programs.
