Our Values
Kindergarten Readiness
Our programs will prepare your child for success in kindergarten and beyond! With an emphasis on literacy and early math concepts, and a thematic curriculum across all areas of learning, your child will gain the skills and confidence to become an independent learner. Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)
We weave social-emotional learning (SEL) into the fabric of our curriculum, increasing self-awareness, academic achievement, and positive behaviors both in and out of the classroom. Diversity
Our programs embrace families of all cultural and religious backgrounds. We believe children thrive in an environment where their individuality is celebrated and respected. As a program of the JCC of Staten Island, our Early Childhood Education Center celebrates Jewish values that are truly universal, such as kindness, charity, and repairing the world. Family Engagement
A strong connection between your home and your child’s classroom is the foundation of school success. We offer opportunities for your family to engage with what your child is learning at school, such as Mystery Readers, Class Helpers, Holiday Celebrations, and other special activities throughout the year. Our teachers also use technology daily to help you connect to your child’s classroom activities. |
