In keeping with our early childhood philosophy and the philosophy of the JCA, we will provide a sense of positive identity and belonging by incorporating Jewish values, songs and games into our daily activities. While celebrating the Jewish holidays, we will also explore how they fit within the broader diversity of experiences that the children of our school represent. Most of all, we will provide a safe and nurturing environment for children to learn at an individual pace and to grow socially, physically and emotionally.
