OUR WONDERFUL ECC CURRICULUM:
Our curriculum emphasizes the importance of the development of the whole child: socially, emotionally, cognitively, physically, and spiritually. We provide a loving, caring, and nurturing learning environment within a framework rich in Jewish values and traditions.
Learning activities are purposefully planned by our qualified staff to match the developmental stages of each child. The staff emphasizes the learning process taking place rather than the end product.We offer a variety of learning opportunities for each child encouraging imagination, curiosity, and discovery.
We maintain a balance between:
- Individual and group activities, emphasizing positive social interaction.
- Structured and “free choice” time, guided and modeled by the staff.
- A structured schedule and flexibility that allows opportunities for self exploration and respect.
- An academic component is integrated into the curriculum through music, games, songs, manipulatives, and enriching and stimulating activities.
- Jewish holidays, values, and Shabbat are important parts of our curriculum and woven into our daily and weekly activities. We celebrate together as a school through cooking, music, special guests, parent involvement, community events, and school-wide events.
