(3 months to steady walkers)
We will hold, love, talk with, sing to, and enjoy your baby! We will develop a trusting relationship and be your child's home away from home. We will follow your child's schedule and make each baby feel special all day!
READY SET GO
(walking to 23 months)
This program provides your child with activities that teach and guide while focusing on large and small muscle development, language, expression and sensory motor experiences. We also offer a mid-year "transition" class* beginning in January for this age level. (*Transition class is tentative, based on enrollment and classroom availability.)
PRE- NURSERY
(2 years old by September 1)
The Pre-Nursery program focuses on development of language and socialization skills. Emphasis is on play, language experiences, holidays, music, stories and puppets, gross and fine motor development and learning to be part of a group. Children learn school readiness skills through a variety of group and individual activities. They are exposed to math, science, sensory and literacy experiences with a hands-on approach.
NURSERY
(3 years old by September 1)
Children will experience science, math, dramatic play, music, art, cooking and language activities through an emergent, child-centered curriculum which incorporates a multi-sensory, hands-on approach. The curriculum focuses on readiness activities from an academic level as well as a social level. Children are provided with many opportunities to strengthen fine motor skills. The Nursery staff teaches "Peace Making Skills," a curriculum designed to encourage and strengthen conflict resolution.
PRE-KINDERGARTEN
(4 years old by September 1)
Each class has a listening center and a writing center which enable the children to have many pre-reading and writing experiences. Pre-kindergarteners are exposed to a wealth of enrichment activities such as journal writing, creative movement, literature, Spanish, music, drama, Torah Talk, Playball, science and sports. Language skills, number concepts and exploration of the secular and Judaic world around them become a part of each child's day.
