The
Rosenthal JCC Pre-School
provides a tender transition from home to school in a nurturing and
stimulating, child-centered environment. We help children develop the necessary
social skills for school, and learn through the exploration of the world around
them. We focus on growing the whole child, mind and body, and provide the activities
and individual attention that encourage each child's uniqueness.
Growth
and Learning
We
channel children's imagination and natural curiosity. Every day, children are
inspired through multi-sensory activities including music, art, movement, stories
and educational resources and materials that engage all of the children's
senses:
-
Build
skills through our Creative Centers (listening, dramatic play, arts and crafts,
blocks, literacy, sand, water and manipulatives)
-
Discover
science, nature and geography through hands-on projects and nature walks on the
JCC campus
-
Enhance
social and verbal abilities, and make friends
-
Cultivate
a love for books and literature through our Library Program, where parents act
as storytellers and librarians of our extensive pre-school collection
-
Develop
their independence by making choices about the activities in which they wish to
engage
Highly
Trained Staff
Our
early childhood teachers are highly trained, with an average tenure of over 10
years at the JCC. In addition, we regularly bring in specialists in music,
movement, library, Jewish culture and other areas to enhance our classroom
experience.
Jewish
Values
We
incorporate Jewish cultural activities, including Shabbat and holiday
celebrations, that encourage familiarity with customs and traditions. We also
infuse core Jewish values such as respect for individuals and mitzvot (good deeds) into our programs
every day.
Going
Beyond
We
take particular pride in our support services for families with young children
who are at risk for speech, learning and gross/fine motor weaknesses. Our early
intervention service provides confidential referrals and comprehensive guidance
for parents navigating through the maze of assessments, forms, committee
meetings and therapist appointments.
