Our classes are designed to facilitate the physical, social and cognitive growth of our children.
Our Curriculum
OUR CURRICULUM
Our curriculum is filled with developmentally academic activities, designed to provide an enriching first educational experience. We offer imaginative play, cooking, music, block building, math concepts, small and large motor skills, playground time and art. Based on recent brain research, a primary focus of our curriculum is on language development; each classroom provides a word-rich environment filled with stories, oral language activities, and exposure to more than one language. Our goal is to help children develop into confident individuals who are able to communicate their needs, solve problems, and resolve conflicts. By providing solid building blocks, we prepare each child for their educational future.

Our Philosophy
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Our program, a leader in Long Beach education for 50 years, is designed to develop the social, emotional, physical, and intellectual well-being of each child. We focus on creating a safe and nurturing environment which offers opportunities for exploration and discovery; a place where children learn to care about and cooperate with others as well as play independently. In order to share our Jewish culture and traditions, we enjoy Shabbat each Friday, celebrate Jewish holidays, and flavor our lessons with Jewish songs, stories and special foods. At the same time, we encourage understanding and sharing between families of many cultures.
