Jewish values and culture are fully integrated into our curriculum. We challenge each other to 'learn, understand and do' as it is written in the Torah, the Jewish people's "instructions for living." Through songs, celebrating holidays and festivals, blessings, stories and dances, the children are exposed to the Hebrew language and to the richness of living in a multi-lingual world. Family Education is also an important part of our program, so we provide information to families to enhance your experience both at school and at home.


We are proud that our centers are participating in JECEI—the Jewish Early Childhood Education Initiative, which offers the field of Jewish early childhood education a vision of excellence embedded within a foundation of Jewish Values that are meaningful and compelling to contemporary families. JECEI encourages us to look at our work through various “lenses.” For example:


Journey Lech Lecha
Relationship B’rit
Potential B’telem Elokim
Wonder Hit’orerut
Sacred Time and Space K’dusha
Community Yisrael

We encourage our teachers to work through these lenses as they plan curriculum, interact with children and create special experiences for the children in our centers.
