Palisades Jewish Early Childhood Center

From the Director:

This program is designed to integrate children with nature and engage them in quality outdoor activities which stimulate their innate curiosity about the natural world. The students can hike as they fulfill their Judaic and Secular curriculum through direct experiences with the natural world.

From the Director:

we are a developmental school where each child fulfills his/her potential at their own time

Teachers are focused on all our students. Children that seem to be developmentally delayed are observed and staff reaches out for professional direction. All children are integrated into our curriculum. We have professional people that navigate our teachings so that we do work on a successful road !

Our school is surrounded by 2.5 acres of a natural environment. Children engage with outdoor activities which stimulate their innate curiosity about the natural world. The goals of our curriculum incorporate the development of fundamental everyday skills. Children's independence and development of a positive self esteem .
