Our Program

Here at the J, we take pride in helping children and families learn, play and connect with their community.

Curriculum

تستند رؤيتنا التعليمية إلى منهج هاي سكوب لمرحلة ما قبل المدرسة. يعتمد هذا المنهج على البحث العلمي ويركز على الطفل، ويستخدم عملية مصممة بعناية تُعرف باسم "التعلم التشاركي النشط" لتحقيق نتائج إيجابية وفعّالة. من خلال تهيئة بيئة صفية تُتيح التعلم والاستكشاف بحرية، نمنح الأطفال فرصة لبناء فهمهم للعالم. كما نؤمن بأن التعلم جهدٌ تعاوني يشمل الأطفال الآخرين ومعلميهم وعائلاتهم ومجتمعنا ككل.

Shabbat

"Shabbat Shalom!" (Peaceful Shabbat)


Every Friday, the students gather together to sing, dance, and celebrate Shabbat! Shabbat is a day of rest that lasts from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday every week. It's traditional to have two loaves of challah, light candles, and enjoy a day of rest. 


من أبرز مظاهر السبت قيام الأطفال بخبز الخبز اليهودي (الشالا) ليأخذوه إلى منازلهم ويستمتعوا به مع عائلاتهم. هذه الرائحة الرائعة تضفي مزيداً من البهجة.

Infant Room


Age: Twelve Weeks (by October 15th)


Our infant program is designed to foster children’s physical, sensory, social, emotional, and intellectual development in a safe, gentle, and caring environment. Our teachers know that babies grow and learn best when they feel secure. Our maximum group size is eight infants with three teachers. Each child is assigned a primary caregiver who attends to the child’s individual needs and works in partnership with parents to ensure the child receives the best possible care while at school. Infants develop trust and security when they know their teachers will be right there to help support learning through growth and joy, and to help when they are upset.

Toddler I Room


Age: One Year (by October 15th)


Our youngest toddler program slowly and gently introduces children, moving from the individual nature of infancy to the joys of being part of a group. This classroom has a maximum group size of ten children with three teachers. The curriculum is designed to support young toddlers as they learn to master both expressive and receptive language, to play cooperatively with peers, and practice making their way in a world where they long for independence yet still require support from a loving, affectionate and trusted adult. Each child is allowed the space, support and time to develop newly acquired skills at their own pace, with guidance from their teachers.

Toddler II Room


Age: Two Years (by October 15th)


Our Toddler program maintains a 4:1 ratio with a maximum group size of twelve. It is designed to provide toddlers with opportunities to explore while addressing the specific needs, challenges, and delights of this age group. There is an emphasis on freedom of movement and gross/fine motor development, as well as supporting child-to-child interactions. The children in this group are becoming more aware of one another, and social play is becoming more complex. The daily curriculum offers toddlers opportunities to explore the environment according to their capabilities, interests, and developmental needs.
