About our program:
• Infant/Toddler Center (ITC) (Ages 2 months - 2 years)
A 12-month program offering a safe environment where you can leave your child with complete confidence
and peace-of-mind. Children are grouped by age and enjoy music and movement, finger play, and
playground time, as well as holiday celebrations and weekly Shabbat programs. Appropriate challenges are
built into activities to encourage each child’s developmental, cognitive, and social growth using the model of
the Creative Curriculum for Infants and Toddlers.
• Playgroup (Ages 2 - 3 years)
A 12-month program that incorporates music, movement, social interaction, and playground fun, into the basic
components of early learning. Classrooms are center-based with language development activities, small and
gross motor activity centers, and cognitive growth activities. These activities are blended together to offer
toddlers the opportunity to learn and grow in a stimulating and safe environment using the model of the
Creative Curriculum for Infants and Toddlers. Included in the curriculum is music, Israeli dance, and physical
education, all conducted by program specialists, and a weekly Shabbat program.
