About the Provider

Description: Children’s physical, emotional, and cognitive abilities expand rapidly through the many engaging activities and interactions they experience at Shalom Children’s Center. Children are immersed in a literacy rich environment that fosters language and pre-reading skills, along with activities and materials that encourage discovery of the world around them. Our two-year-old classrooms focus on language development and emphasize building relationships within the classroom family. Three-year-old classrooms encourage self-reliance, self-expression, and respect for others. Children participate in a wide array of activities that build their brains, such as daily circle and story time, indoor and outdoor free play, art activities, puzzles and sorting, music, and integrated lessons in Jewish values.
