Care is taken to encourage self-expression and self-confidence as children learn about friendship and group interaction. All of this is accomplished through Adath Jeshurun Preschool’s belief that children learn best with hands-on-experience and that all children deserve a learning environment that is both challenging and guiding. An environment in which they can explore, discover and exercise their own capacities to think, plan, and experiment. The children play and learn in a secure and supportive atmosphere in which emphasis is placed on the process of learning rather than on a pre-determined final product.
AJ children learn critical thinking, problem-solving, and reasoning through dramatic arts, creative art projects, block building and water play. They learn Jewish culture, religion, and spiritual principles by celebrating the beliefs, holidays, and heritage of the Jewish people. They develop sharing and planning skills by choosing activities at classroom centers. They learn to express feelings and thoughts through song, movement, drawing, painting, and other media. They build confidence and respect for self and others by observing how their teachers treat them and by treating each other with the same respect and dignity.
The 3 year old and pre-k classes will take a variety of field trips. These trips are chosen to broaden your child’s experience. On these trips we generally need parents to help. For each child’s safety, it is important to have one adult for each four children. We ask that you not bring siblings. Miller Transportation will provide buses for the field trips. If you are chaperoning we ask you to follow the bus in your vehicle rather than ride with the children. This saves space for children and teachers. Thank you for your compliance. A permission form will be required for EACH field trip. If we do not receive this permission form your child will be unable to attend.
The 14 month olds, 18 month olds and two year olds will join the older children for programs in school. These may include a magician, a puppet show, or a music experience. These events will be listed in the monthly newsletter you will receive each month.
