About the Provider
At Congregation B'nai Jeshurun, we believe that each child is a blessing to the world. Nurturing our youngest congregants-from 14 months to five years old-within a Jewish environment is a sacred mission, which The Rabbi Barry H. Greene Early Childhood Center has successfully fulfilled since 1967. We also believe that learning should be self-rewarding, fun and non-competitive. Our professional staff fosters each individual student's social skills and esthetic, as well as his or her emotional, physical and intellectual development, by providing opportunities to grow within a safe, secure and caring environment.
