Calling all Toddlers! - Our Toddler classes are designed for children 15-24 months of age. The curriculum offers the curious and eager toddler an opportunity to explore a multitude of media in a classroom specifically designed and equipped for this age group. We offer the child an opportunity to work on both their fine motor and gross motor skills as well as the very important aspect of social dramatic play. Activities each week focus on a new concept or theme. The toddlers are able to explore different art media each week. The class ends with upbeat rhythm and physical movement activity. Extended Day options are available at several of our sites.
National kudos for our BJE ECC's! - At the recent National Association for the Education of Young Children conference held in Chicago, we were one of three preschools highlighted as examples of excellence in our field by the National Jewish Early Childhood Network. More than 100 Jewish educators toured our school and visited a display of work from all five of our centers. As a result of this exhibit, and the outstanding work of the teachers, Nancy Manewith, director of the BJE-ECC’s has been selected to oversee the early childhood exhibit at the Conference for the Advancement of Jewish Education (CAJE)in Vermont this summer.
