Description: OZ Full Circle Preschool is the way Ohavi Zedek cares for and nurtures the youngest in our community. We offer high-quality, nurturing, holistic care from Birth to Pre-Kindergarten age in five classrooms. Our program centers on child- led learning and exploration, along with Jewish values of kindness, generosity, and community from the youngest ages. OZs Full Circle Preschool is Jewish in content, character, and calendar, while also whole-heartedly welcoming interfaith, non-affiliated, and non-Jewish students and families. Inclusion, warmth, and kindness are the foundation of all we do. At OZ Full Circle Preschool, we embrace a Reggio-Emilia inspired emergent curriculum. We respect the childs need to generate their own questions and aim to help children make sense of their experiences. Using the project-based approach, we encourage teachers, children, family, and other members of the community to collaborate in ongoing projects based on the childrens interests. Childrens work is deeply respected, and is used by educators and families to better understand childrens development and thinking processes. Children are fully supported in their expressive and creative endeavors. Children are encouraged to reflect on their work and the work of others, and to lend words and meaning to their creative processes. We believe strongly in providing children with inviting spaces that encourage creativity and exploration. We believe that in order to provide children with opportunities for independent and collaborative learning, we must ask open-ended questions and provide children with the proper language and materials to further explore their innate curiosities. While the Reggio Emilia approach is specific to the region in Italy, we understand that our approach is uniquely based upon the values, needs, and resources of our Burlington community, and the Jewish teachings interwoven throughout our daily learning experiences.
