The Garden Preschool & Early Learning Center

At the Garden Preschool, we strive to provide an environment that is emotionally secure and safe, where every child feels wanted and loved, and which promotes independence by offering choices and allowing the child to take the initiative. We believe in active learning, in encouraging children to manipulate materials, to use their senses to investigate, to explore by hands-on experience, and to search for answers to satisfy their curiosity. The classrooms are planned to include a wide variety of open ended activities and materials so that children can learn in their own way and at their own pace and level. We strive to highlight the unique strengths of every child, and to help each one become an independent thinker.

Children learn best by first hand experience, and these experiences are the basis for new knowledge and growth. Family, community, and culture are by nature important to young children; their experiences in school allow them to make sense of their world and to further develop their perceptions. The Judaic aspects of The Garden Preschool curriculum (as all other aspects) are naturally and holistically woven into the child’s experience and are presented in a way that every child can be equally comfortable with.

Social relationships are crucial in so many areas of life, and a positive preschool experience is one of the most important keys to a child’s future success in connecting to other people. Teachers help children learn how to resolve conflicts without fighting, and they encourage the development of empathy and concern for others.

The staff of The Garden Preschool & Early Learning Center looks forward to working together with you throughout the school year to help each child to succeed. We encourage you to ask questions about the program and to share your ideas with us.
