Learning through play
in English and Hebrew.
Children are capable, curious people with ideas worth listening to. Our Early Childhood program offers the care, trust, and thoughtful guidance they need to explore their world.
Visit Early Childhood
A play-based preschool inspired by Reggio Emilia
Inspired by Reggio Emilia and the work of Malka Haas, our play-based program follows children’s questions and interests. Educators create opportunities to investigate with open-ended materials, natural objects, movement, and conversation.
Children make choices, test ideas, and learn alongside one another. Adults offer the patient support that helps independence, language, and relationships take root.
In the classroom
Jewish life & music
Holidays, Torah stories, song, and celebrations introduce Jewish traditions as a joyful part of children’s lives.
Indoors & outdoors
The classroom extends into the natural world, with space to move, observe, imagine, and create.
A day in Early Childhood
Our daily schedule is designed as a consistent but flexible “flow” rather than a rigid timeline. We prioritize listening to the children’s needs, energy levels, and interests at the moment. This responsive approach allows us to accommodate special events, weather changes, or moments of deep engagement while maintaining a predictable sense of security for the children. The schedule shown here is a general example; it looks slightly different for each age group.
8:15–10:20 · Arrive & connect
Morning explorations and small-group activities; clean up, hygiene, and outdoor transition; morning meeting and tefillah; handwashing and snack.
10:20–12:00 · Investigate & create
Center explorations (art, sensory, and project work), followed by outdoor exploration.
12:00–2:15 · Share & belong
Mid-day gathering with music, Torah stories, and Shabbat party; handwashing and lunch; hygiene and rest time.
2:15–5:00 · Reflect & reconnect
Outdoor exploration; snack, open play, and closing circle; extended-room open play and story time; dismissal from 4:45.
