Our Mission
Children
learn best in a safe, nurturing environment. Our school's
goal is to provide developmentally appropriate and academically
sound experiences to foster the growth of the whole child.
Emphasis is placed on play and interactive learning to
promote the social, emotional, academic and physical development
of each child. Cognitive, creative and physical activities
are planned to foster this daily growth. An environment
is provided that seeks to promote positive self esteem
and social interaction. Our teachers strive to provide
constant encouragement so that the children become acquainted
with the process of learning and not be concerned with
the final outcome of their creations.
As
a Jewish school, we instill in our children values as well
as opportunities to practice basic religious observances.
The lessons we learn are those found in the Old Testament
which is the foundation of our heritage.
