About this preschool

Congregation B'nai Israel Child Development Center, licensed since 1994, offers programs for children ages 3 months to 5 years in a Reggio Emilia-inspired, developmentally appropriate curriculum rich in Jewish traditions and values. The center operates Monday through Friday with flexible scheduling options including extended full day, full day, and half day programs.

Philosophy
The approach embodies the 'image of the child' as competent and capable learners, honoring children's curiosity and natural inclination to learn through play. Learning happens in a supportive, enriching atmosphere based on children's interests through a self-guided (emergent) curriculum. The school environment serves as a 'third teacher' encouraging exploration, discovery, and creative thinking, with the school being a warm and welcoming community that is a home away from home.
