Learning Approach:
We nurture development through responsive caregiving and rich sensory environments. Bonding, emotional connection, and early communication are encouraged through music, eye contact, and baby sign language.
Curriculum:
Infants are introduced to movement, language, and Torah values through soft play, storytelling, and familiar routines. Exposure to Hebrew, English, and Spanish supports early language recognition.
Daily Life:
Each day includes floor time, individualized feeding, naps, music, and gentle sensory play. Jewish songs and seasonal themes are integrated naturally.
Toddler Program
Ages 15 Months to 2.5 Years
Our Toddler Program supports rapid growth in independence, movement, and social skills. Children are encouraged to explore, express, and engage with confidence in a structured, nurturing environment.
Learning Approach:
Montessori-inspired methods encourage freedom within structure and hands-on discovery. Classrooms are intentionally arranged to foster self-help skills and confidence.
Curriculum:
We focus on five key areas: sensory development, self-help, gross and fine motor skills, early communication, and social-emotional growth. Jewish values are woven into each learning moment.
Daily Life:
Toddlers participate in circle time, art, dramatic play, and practical life activities like pouring and dressing. Language development is encouraged in Hebrew, English, and Spanish.
Preschool Program
Ages 3 to 4.5 Years
Our Preschool Program prepares children for academic and personal success with a strong foundation in core skills, creativity, and Jewish identity. We emphasize exploration, initiative, and joyful learning.
Practical Life:
Children develop motor coordination, concentration, and independence through meaningful tasks such as buttoning, pouring, and sweeping. These skills support deeper academic work.
Sensorial:
Materials sharpen observation by isolating key qualities like shape, size, texture, and sound. Children learn to categorize, compare, and understand sensory impressions.
Language:
Phonics, storytelling, and tracing letters help children build reading and writing readiness at their own pace. Activities encourage verbal expression and early literacy.
Mathematics:
Concrete materials introduce numerical concepts and operations. Rods, beads, and number cards guide children through addition, subtraction, and foundational math logic.
Cultural Enrichment:
Art, music, and Jewish celebrations enrich each child’s day with beauty, creativity, and meaning. Language immersion continues in Hebrew, English, and Spanish.
