We accept children ages 0-5
Curriculum is inspired by Reggio Emilia play based approach.
Children are encouraged to work in collaborative teams, problem-solving and learning from one another. They are encouraged to dialogue, critique, compare, negotiate and hypothesize. Multiple perspectives help children build reciprocal relationships.
Art: Through encounters with a wide range of media and materials, children become more comfortable and skilled and begin to use the materials to communicate or represent their understandings, emotions, discoveries, and interests. The schools in Reggio Emilia, Italy refer to this communication as “The Hundred languages”.
Music: We will have weekly music and movement as well as a musical shabbat party every Friday. Children will have access to musical instruments as well as Musical “Loose Parts” to explore the sound of music.
