Emphasis is on socialization in a small group setting without a parent. Activities include an extended playtime, art, singing, stories and, of course, snack. This program for age 3 meets three times a week. Judaism is integrated during the entire year as Hebrew, holidays, values and customs are introduced. This program for age 4 meets five days a week.
Children continue in their exploration of themselves.
In addition to viewing themselves as part of a family, they are introduced to the community as well as the world around them. Problem solving with peers is emphasized as children's social competencies continue to develop. A positive Jewish identity continues to be strengthened by integrating Torah, Hebrew, Jewish values, traditions and the holidays. At various levels, children study Torah, Shabbat, life cycle, Israel, Holidays, Jews in other countries, Hebrew letter recognition and the Synagogue. Our Sunday morning program includes music and a participatory service.
