Temple Beth Sholom Early Childhood Center

Temple Beth Sholom Early Childhood Center uses Reggio Emilia-inspired approaches to foster discovery and learning, integrating Jewish values and traditions naturally throughout the curriculum. The center serves infants through pre-kindergarten children and emphasizes developing compassion, self-esteem, independence, and social skills.

Philosophy

Based on Reggio Emilia concepts, the program recognizes children as strong, competent, and unique individuals. Learning occurs through shared ideas within the environment, exploring relationships (child to child, child to adult, child to community, child to nature, child to materials), and using the environment as the third teacher. Children are co-learners with teachers and parents through observation, documentation, and research-based exploration.
