Early Childhood Center Programs
Programs: 2s, 3s, 4s
Programs: 2s, 3s, 4s
The Shames JCC currently offers programs for 2’s, 3’s, and 4’s (we also offer a Turning 2s program for slightly younger children). We follow an emergent curriculum finding inspiration from Reggio Emilia. Our activities are about exploration and discovery; exploring with all our senses, asking questions, testing theories, making plans, and thinking deeply. During the course of the day, the children of all age groups have the opportunity to use different learning spaces for activities involving nature, stories, construction, mathematical reasoning, and music.
With the expansion of our JCC, we’ve incorporated a large portion of each day into outdoor learning and the natural world. We feel it is essential that we make every effort to keep our children in touch with the Earth; its natural rhythms, the changing of the seasons, its beauty and mystery.
Students receiving services through CPSE can receive them on-site. Please note the Shames JCC does not provide services directly but arranges with the family and/or school district therapists.
