  Celebrating our 35th Year  
   
Celebrating our 35th year, the Early Childhood Center is state licensed and highly regarded throughout the Bergen County area. Committed to providing high quality early childhood programs for Jewish children and their families, we offer an innovative transitional Toddler program for young twos, Pre-Nursery classes for children between 2-1/2 and 3, and half days for 3 and 4 year olds with optional longer day extensions available.
 
       
    Building a Solid Foundation  
   
It has been long accepted that the early years are formative ones during which tremendous growth takes place. Building a solid foundation and a positive self-image are vital elements for future success. We at the Early Childhood Center place strong emphasis on the total development of each individual child. Curiosity, creativity, independence, socialization skills and intellectual growth are encouraged while instilling a love for, and a basic understanding of, Judaism.
 
       
    Fun, Unpressured Environment  
   
Our program is child-centered and our curriculum is “hands on”. Children are exposed to a broad range of materials and experiences on an appropriate level in order to enhance each child’s development in all areas. We provide many opportunities for play, since we strongly believe in its value in a child’s life. On a daily basis, we strive to create an awareness of others and a sense of community. We offer an enriched Judaic curriculum that brings increasing knowledge and appreciation of our traditions and heritage through weekly Shabbat programs, Holiday celebrations, music and crafts. We’re proud of our superb staff of experienced, nurturing and gifted teachers and our low child:teacher ratio. All learning takes place in a fun, unpressured environment.
 
       
    Your Child Will Feel Secure and Happy  
   
Your child will feel secure and happy in our well-equipped, comfortable facility, boasting bright airy rooms, and located in a large house adjacent to the Center. We also offer a very popular six-week summer camp program, which makes extensive use of our spacious and shady playground.
 
       
    We Encourage You to Visit  
   
We encourage you to visit the Early Childhood Center to see for yourself why we are special! Our high standards and our belief in each individual child’s self worth make this a safe, warm and stimulating place for your child.
