The Sandra & Lawrence Bronson Early Childhood Development Center is a learning community devoted to
providing a stimulating environment that promotes development and meaningful relationships under the umbrella
of Jewish values and traditions. We work together with families to facilitate children’s development as critical
thinkers, problem solvers, citizens, and active members of their communities. Respect, cooperation, empathy,
tolerance, and creativity are values that sustain our daily work with children and families.

About our program:
•Infant/Toddler Center (ITC) (Ages 2 months - 2 years)
A year ‘round 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 year ‘round 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.
