Early Childhood Center Introduction
The Community Synagogue Early Childhood Center prides itself on having a child-oriented environment. Our program is based on the belief that children learn best through hands-on activities. We offer a variety of learning experiences in a creative and enriched environment where children can develop, socialize and grow under the supervision of our trained and caring staff.
We respect each child’s right to grow and progress socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. Each child develops to his or her greatest capacity. Our teachers promote positive self-esteem balanced by a healthy respect for the feelings and rights of others. To help children grow in skill and confidence, we provide opportunities for group experiences, as well as individual attention.
We seek to foster in each child a love of Jewish heritage, customs and holidays. The children learn about Jewish culture through song, dance, arts and crafts and celebrations.
ECC Holiday Play Dates with our Clergy
New this year, for children in our ECC 3’s and 4’s programs, Holiday Play Dates with our clergy! Each Play Date includes fun time with either Rabbi Z, Rabbi Danny or Cantor Claire singing songs, telling stories or doing crafts, followed by a free playtime where our children and families can have time to mingle while they enjoy our beautiful playgrounds or bouncing castles.
Preregistration is required for these programs, so watch for the sign-up dates! Each Holiday Play Date will be limited to a small group of children. Each child must be accompanied by an adult. Holiday Play Dates are free of charge and will be held on the following dates:
▪ Purim Play date: March 5, 1:00 pm and 2:00 pm
