Our Staff
Our Early Childhood staff are a group of caring, experienced educators committed to your child’s growth in our program. We believe in on-going training and maintain the highest standards in Early Childhood education and strive to provide the best program in an exciting, creative atmosphere. Plus, the JCC MetroWest swim and gym professionals guide our aquatics and physical education activities in the full-sized gym and indoor heated pools.
Our children participate in An Ethical Start curriculum. This is an exciting early childhood values curriculum, based on classical Jewish text, Pirkei Avot (Ethics of our Fathers).
By focusing on values, the program goes beyond holidays and rituals to bring home the message that Jewish tradition is relevant every day. It helps direct children to turn ethical values into ethical behavior.
