The design of the program ensures all children have a positive exposure to their first experiences of Yiddishkeit, fun, play, learning and care all mixed together. The program truly integrates these aspects very effectively bringing many a smile to parents' faces. A positive experience for all children is the ultimate aim.
All Educators at our Service are trained and experienced in areas of early education and care. Due to our high standard and commitment of our Educators, we are able to provide developmental and educational curricula for each child individually, and as part of a group.
We will use the relationships children have with their families and communities to build the curriculum, working in partnership with parents, to ensure each child’s knowledge, ideas, culture, abilities and interests are the foundation of our programs.
Jewish Enrichment
All of our learning and experiences aim to teach and promote a love of Judaism – Jewish values, Culture, laws, customs and traditions, along with an integrated general program
Through out the year, children explore various expos focusing on a particular element, such as Pesach, Shabbat and Kashrut.
Music and Movement
We have music and movement teachers who enhance each child’s musical awareness and dance abilities. They give the child opportunities to express their feelings and thoughts through free movement of the body and to extend the imagination through different medias.

If your child’s educator feels there is an area of concern, they will inform you and advise where help may be sought, e.g. speech therapist. It is always your decision to follow this up. Educators are willing to discuss any aspect of learning and development with parents.
Please feel free to discuss any aspect of the program of your child’s development with your child’s educators.
