Our mission is to create an emotionally-safe learning environment where our children feel empowered to explore ideas, skills and an understanding of self; and to inspire these children with a sense of responsibility towards others and towards making an impact on their world.
Our mission is shaped by
Jewish values An appreciation and respect for the childs natural stages of development The belief that children build knowledge through personal experiences The recognition that the years of early childhood possess within them the capacity for life-long habits, behaviors and attitudes The belief that each child possesses a unique inner voice that needs to be heard and encouraged by both the child and by those around himWe work collaboratively – our children, their families, and our teachers – towards meeting this mission.

LIFE…A JOURNEY OF GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
Remember back when your child was a little baby…
The very beginning of her lifes journey…
You imagined, you dreamed…
So much potential in this little baby, who would she grow to be?
The childs processes of growth and development begin immediately at birth, both normative development (the general set of human capabilities for each age range) and individual development (the childs unique set of talents and traits).
The childs body: her bones, muscles and limbs grow and her motor skills develop. Her senses – her vision, her audio abilities become more refined.
The childs mind: her cognitive abilities – comprehension, imagination, language, thought, study skills and judgment develop, facilitating her acquisition and usage of knowledge, enabling her to learn.
The childs emotions develop they become more refined, developing her character and behavior patterns, and her own sense of morality. She begins to understand herself and from that understanding learns how to effectively interact with others.
As we hold our new baby, we ask ourselves, How can I help my child utilize all the gifts that she was born with and become all that she can be? What can I do to support my child’s developmental process so that, indeed, she will grow into her fullest potential?
