Our Curriculum

“Play is the highest form of research.” (Albert Einstein)

At Beth Am ECC we recognize that children’s social/emotional development is intricately bound with their cognitive growth, and when encouraged to think, create, explore and wonder, they will become lifelong, enthusiastic learners.

Our educational program combines a Judaic and secular curriculum that is explored through individual and collaborative activities. Our curricular goals are stimulating, age appropriate and are achieved through our philosophy of learning through play. Our curriculum is based on an integrated approach to early childhood education, which encourages each child to discover the world through experiences in the social, emotional, academic and physical areas of their development. The following curriculum activities are offered weekly:

• Art
• Cooking
• Creative/ Dramatic Play
• Gardening
• Judaica
• Math
• Music and Movement
• Reading and Writing
• Science
• Verbal Expression and Language Acquisition

Just like a tall tower of blocks is built upon a solid foundation, so too is a child’s boundless quest for knowledge built upon a solid foundation of early skills. Upon graduation from Beth Am ECC, children will have acquired academic as well as social/emotional skills that are essential for a successful transition to kindergarten and throughout their lives.
