Likewise, whether it's a holiday event, a Friday night dinner or a school graduation, there is a special spirit in the air that embraces child and parent alike. This school spiritually feeds the community, and vice versa. In the words of Director Renee Hutchings, Beyond the high level of professionalism we aspire to, there is that abstract dimension that endears this program to all involved. That dimension is love.

The preschool is open 7:30am-6:00pm, Monday-Friday throughout the school year, with an 8-week summer program. The Jewish early childhood program is open to the community, with priority enrollment to members of Temple Beth Israel. The program provides a nurturing learning environment which focuses on whole child development within a Reform Jewish setting. The clergy of Temple Beth Israel participate with the children weekly in a Kabbalat Shabbat, in addition to Jewish holiday celebrations.

In an environment of caring and and understanding, the staff of the Early Childhood Education Center (ECEC) at Temple Etz Chaim works to help our children grow socially, physically, academically and spiritually through a program rich in stimulating activity. The ECEC environment is designed to create an atmosphere that enables our children to grow at their own pace. We believe that children learn through discovery, experimentation and problem solving. Our learning activities encourage the development of self-confidence, language and a positive self-image. We emphasize the role of the family and the celebration of our lives through the Jewish Life Cycle. Throughout the year, we have many family based activities, and we encourage parent involvement through parent education classes, classroom volunteering, Mom's, Dad's and Grandparent's Days, and Jewish cultural and holiday celebrations. Beginning at 18 months through 5 years old. read less
