PHILOSOPHY |
|
Beth Shalom's Rose Family Early Childhood Education Center
offers your child the finest first, formal Jewish education
available. Each program is geared specifically to the
developmental level of the age group. We firmly believe
that children are individuals and progress at their own rate - a
warm, loving, accepting environment enables each child to
achieve maximum growth. Our curriculum includes a wide
variety of academic subjects, social and physical activities
because we want our children to experience success each day.
Our program encourages children to experience the positive
values of Judaism, within a conservative synagogue. Our
Rabbis and Cantor are involved in this process, through weekly
story telling and singing. Children enjoy music, art
projects, dramatic play, activities to encourage gross and fine
motor development, circle time, computers , science and cooking.
