Our Early Childhood Department provides small, nurturing environments rich in hands on secular and Judaic experiences and exploration. Each individual child's social, emotional, cognitive and physical development are enhanced through creative play, art, music, movement, puppetry, cooking, storytelling, games, literature, projects, etc.

Every one of our Nursery School teachers, head Camp Staff and Kindergarten Enrichment teachers has teaching certification as well as a degree in Education and all are members of the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Our Toddler Time is facilitated by a trained, experienced Child Life Specialist.

We invite you to call us at 201-652-6624 or email us to arrange for a visit, so you can see our many programs "in action."
