More About Our Programs
1-year-olds
A loving, sensory-rich space where your child begins to explore the world, rooted in gentle routines and Jewish values. Climbing, sliding, crawling, walking – gross motor is the work of a one year old! Our classrooms are set up to support this robust physical exploration of the world. Early communication plays an important role in this classroom, and children learn how to express their needs and dialogue with their teachers.

Three-year-olds thrive as creative thinkers and kind friends through Reggio-inspired exploration and Jewish learning. Increasingly independent, threes are acquiring the early foundations of what will later be academics. Our classrooms are set up to promote the exploration and acquisition of early concepts (opposites, cause & effect, rules). Children are developing stronger peer relationships and exploring how to express themselves to the world.

4-year-olds:
Our four-year-olds grow through exploration, discovery, and independence. More self-aware now, fours see themselves as part of the broader community and explore their social roles & responsibilities. More complex skills are gained such as conflict resolution, perseverance & confidence, executive function, and perspective taking. K-readiness kicks in with a more explicit, though still play-based, focus on numbers, letters, patterns & shapes.
