JCC Early Learning Center at Congregation Sha'aray Shalom

The Hingham ELC curriculum is designed to value the child and honor his or her interests and capabilities. Interpreted through the lens of Jewish wisdom and values, the curriculum encourages community-building, collaboration and mutual respect.

This philosophy guides every aspect of the daily routine, from programming to community involvement. Consistent with the JCC Early Learning philosophy, we believe that social-emotional development is as important as cognitive development. Our team will nurture your child’s intellectual exploration and competencies—and at the same time help him or her to understand his or her emotions, label them, and express them safely and positively.

Hingham is a diverse community. We are the only local Jewish preschool, and are passionate about exposing children to the rich traditions and resources of our culture. We celebrate the fullness of living in a multicultural world while celebrating our heritage through songs, holidays and festivals, blessings, story, dance and exposure to Hebrew language. However, there are no expectations or requirements of background, belief or practice in the ELC; all are welcome at the Center.
