United Jewish Community of VA Peninsula

Children learn best in a safe, nurturing environment. Our school’s goal is to provide developmentally appropriate experiences to foster the growth of the whole child. Emphasis is placed on play and interactive learning to promote the social, emotional, academic and physical development of each child. Cognitive, creative and physical activities are planned to foster daily growth. An environment is provided that seeks to promote positive self esteem and social interaction. Our teachers strive to provide constant encouragement and praise, not only for the child’s products but also for the processes that he or she goes through in obtaining them. As a Jewish school, we instill in our children values as well as opportunities to practice basic religious observances. The lessons we learn are those found in the Old Testament which is the foundation of our heritage.
