Welcome to the
Congregation Beth Shalom
Early Childhood Center!
Mission Statement
The Beth Shalom Early Childhood Center is committed to providing excellent quality childcare for all young children in a safe, nurturing environment that is also rich in Jewish content.
Vision Statement
The ECC welcomes all children and their families, including those involved in Jewish life to varying degrees as well as non-Jewish families. We respect and value diversity, individuality and family culture. We strive to create a comfortable environment and be an extension of home. We value families for their strong bonds and commitment to their children and seek continuous communication.
We integrate Judaism and Hebrew into our creative and child centered curriculum. Teachers plan curriculum based on the skills and interests of each individual group of children. We work to meet the needs of the whole child: socially, emotionally, physically, intellectually and spiritually.
Jewish Values Statement
Congregation Beth Shalom believes in the values of Torah, avodah (service), and g'millut hassadim (acts of lovingkindness). At the Beth Shalom Early Childhood Center (ECC), these values form the foundation for how we educate our students.
The Early Childhood Center is part of the Beth Shalom Community
