What you'll gain
Daycare & preschool benefits

Inspired learning
With the goal of preparing students for elementary school, our curriculum promotes literacy, math, social/emotional development and fine motor skills while providing a wide range of experiences as well as learning and discovery opportunities.

A welcoming community

Sheva Learning Framework
Seven principles guide our Sheva Program: children as constructivist learners, early childhood directors as visionaries, early childhood educators as professionals, families as engaged partners, environments as inspiration for inquiry, Sh’mirat Haguf (taking care of our body) through the CATCH healthy-living program, and Israel as a source and resource.

Practicing Judaism
Starting at an early age, we ensure that children begin to engage with their Jewish identity by celebrating holidays and traditions through songs, crafts, dancing, storytelling and enjoying traditional holiday foods. Celebrating Jewish traditions and values enriches the Jewish experience for each child. A favourite experience of the children is to participate in our Shabbat celebrations.

The JCC experience

Our educators
Each teacher has been carefully selected and oriented to our school’s values, philosophy, and community to provide the finest early childhood education possible. They view themselves as partners in your child’s development and your family’s growth. Teachers work collaboratively to create environments that spark wonder and creativity, build confidence and skills, allow children to explore materials, and encourage a questioning mind.
