Early Childhood Development

Sandra & Lawrence Bronson Early Childhood Development CenterOur Mission: The Sandra & Lawrence Bronson Early Childhood Development Center is a learning community devoted to providing a stimulating environment that promotes development and meaningful relationships under the umbrella of Jewish values, our connection to Israel, and our rich cultural heritage (through pre-Shabbat and holiday classroom/school-wide programs). We work together with families to facilitate children’s development as critical thinkers, problem-solvers, citizens, and active members of our community. Respect, cooperation, empathy, tolerance, and creativity are values that sustain our daily work with children and families. We have also integrated Sheva, established by the Jewish Community Association for early childhood education, which embraces seven core elements of child development:

•Children as Constructivist Learners
•Directors as Visionaries
•Educators as Professionals
•Families as Engaged Partners
•Environments as Inspiration for Inquiry
•Discover CATCH as Sh’mirat HaGuf (taking care of our bodies)
•Israel as the Story of the Jewish People
