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.
