Early Childhood Development Centers


The ECDC curriculum is full of learning opportunities. The children make use of our modern facilities - swimming in our indoor pools, playing in a full-court gymnasium and indoor and outdoor play areas, and gaining skills in our computer labs. Creative expression is encouraged through art, music and story. Jewish culture is explored through Hebrew language and celebrating Jewish holidays such as Purim and all-school Shabbat. Our programs are enhanced by enrichment activities like cooking and field trips, and for four-year-olds, Amazing Afternoons and Math and Science Afternoons. All children are served healthy kosher breakfasts, lunches and snacks. Through discovery and play, children have countless opportunities to develop skills and confidence, and to have fun!
