Philosophy

Kehilat Shalom Early Childhood Center is an early childhood educational facility for children ages two through four years old. The curriculum is planned for the age level of each group of children, with particular emphasis on the individual needs, interests and developmental stages of each child. The curriculum is designed to create an atmosphere where learning experiences will occur and where children take an active part in the learning process. Our classrooms are arranged to maximize children’s play, thinking, reasoning and problem-solving skills.
