Early Childhood Program

At Temple Sinai’s ECEP, we understand that children are born with the curiosity, ability, and the desire to learn about their world and the people in it. Your child will be part of an active learning environment that will inspire creativity, imagination, and the love of learning! Equally important, you will become part of the Temple Sinai community, a community that is motivated to support the social, emotional, academic, and spiritual journey that you are beginning with your child. Lifelong friendships for children and adults are formed at Temple Sinai’s ECEP.

Our program is a research-based program that incorporates the best practices from a variety of different educational approaches. We use both child-centered and teacher-guided instruction; our teachers design curriculum to teach developmentally appropriate skills based on themes that emerge during classroom discussions and interactions. This type of “emergent” curriculum allows children with all learning styles to move through skills mastery at their own pace, using materials and activities that interest them. The lesson plans will differ from class to class and year to year, with the important age-level skills (social/emotional, cognitive, language, physical, literacy, pre-math and pre-science) always at the core.
