About this preschool

Congregation B'nai Israel Child Development Center, licensed since 1994, serves infants through pre-K/TK children ages 3 months to 5 years with a Reggio-inspired, emergent curriculum rich in Jewish traditions. The center operates Monday-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 in a Reggio Emilia, constructivist environment. The school environment is considered a 'third teacher,' encouraging exploration, discovery, and creative thinking with beautifully and purposefully arranged indoor and outdoor spaces.
