Early Toddler Program / Toddler Program

Toddlerhood presents its own development needs and characteristics.  Good planning relies most strongly on understanding where the children are now and building on that.

Therefore, our goals include:

•  Building trust between teacher and child and among other children

• Maintaining a sense of security and safety

• Allowing and encouraging an expression of feelings, ideas, and emotions

• Learning to respect each other’s feelings and work

• Encouraging their sense of wonder and delight in exploring the world around them

• Introducing to the children, in a developmentally appropriate way, the joys and customs of the Jewish faith  

Current Toddler Program and Schedule:  

• Greet children

• Free Play

• Cleanup

• Snack*

• Music/Movement and Group Story

• Outdoor Play

• Closing

Prior to the commencement of school, a teacher will make arrangements for a home visit.  We feel this is a comfortable way for your child to meet one of his/her teachers in the familiar surroundings of their own home.

Parent – Teacher conferences are held twice during the school year.
