Preschool

 

Westside Jewish Community Center Preschool and Transitional Kindergarten offer an outstanding program for children ages two through five.  Our programs integrate a developmental curriculum within a rich Judaic environment. 

 

Our program provides development in four important areas; separation and the achievement of autonomy, language acquisition, communication skills and socialization.  Activity centers provide for exploration and discovery in a non-competitive, nurturing environment.  Daily activities include indoor/outdoor, quiet/active, teacher-directed/child directed and planned/emergent experiences.  Classrooms are filled with hands-on-materials encouraging exploration and creativity.
