Our
Philosophy
TEMPLE
BETH
HAVERIM
EARLY
CHILDHOOD
CENTER
provides a safe and nurturing Jewish environment in
which young children can grow cognitively, socially,
emotionally, creatively, and spiritually.
Each child is seen as the unique
person they are; growing and developing at their own
pace. Children are viewed in the context of his/her
family and community. The professional staff is trained
to respond to each child, based on his/her learning
style, and need for loving care and encouragement.
Jewish identity is sparked through
special family activities, rituals and celebrations
along with hands on, age appropriate school experiences.
Children are eager to continue living a Jewish life and
are welcomed into the Temple Beth Haverim Religious
School.
At Temple Beth Haverim Early
Childhood Center, learning is viewed as an ongoing
process; a lifelong endeavor that includes teachers,
your child’s peers, parents, and environment, inside and
outside the classroom. Your child’s experiences at
Temple Beth Haverim Early Childhood Center build the
foundation for their future educational endeavors.
