Introduction to the Temple Emanu El Preschool and Child Care Program
The Temple Emanu El Preschool and Child Care Program is one of the numerous programs run by Temple Emanu El. This Judaically oriented program offers a nurturing, fun-filled environment, allowing for maximum social, emotional and intellectual growth. Personalized Rabbinic contact with Rabbi Steve Denker and Cantor Laurel Barr fosters a sense of Jewish identity and encourages learning of basic Jewish traditions.
Our teaching staff is degreed, trained and experienced in Early Childhood Education. Classes are arranged according to age and personal growth and development of the individual child, to foster a positive self-concept and mastery of age-appropriate skills.
Our unique flexibility offers families with children, 18 months to five years, various options. These scheduling options are available for half days, full days or any combination thereof. With the exception of some Jewish and secular holidays, the program is in operation 52 weeks a year, 5 days per week, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Children are served a morning and afternoon snack and hot lunch.
