Welcome to Beth El's Early Childhood Education program. We offer Infant & Toddler Care, Pre-School, Pre-K Jumpstart, Kindergarten, Mini-Camp and Summer Camp programs for children from 3 months to 6 years old. We know that successful early childhood education lies in the school's ability, in cooperation with the home, to foster a positive and stable secular and Jewish self-image for each child. We recognize the unique needs of the individual child at his/her level of development. To meet this goal, we offer an environment that promotes the social, emotional, and intellectual growth of each child. Our specific goal for the children in all of our early childhood programs is to nurture the growth of a well-integrated child through self-discipline and the capacity to share with peers. We consistently provide appropriate adult support for the individual needs of child through small pupil to teacher ratio in each classroom. For more information, please contact Director of Early Childhood Education Ellen Marks.

Early Childhood Enrollment for 2009-2010: Now is a great time to enroll or re-enroll your toddler/preschooler in one of Beth El's loving, nurturing, academically-oriented programs. Choose from half day-programs from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 or 1:00 p.m. (which includes our very popular option for lunch) and full-day programs from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Early-morning drop-off opens at 7:00 a.m. before school begins and the afternoon after-school program is open until 6:00 p.m. Our Beth El Infant and Toddler Care Program will stimulate, engage and encourage your three- to 24-month old child's growth and development in an all-day long (7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) clean, safe and secure facility. Each child enjoys personal attention and care from our qualified, experienced adult team of caregivers.
