Shalom from the GFP Director!
Welcome to the Goldman Family Preschool! We are NAEYC accredited and beginning our 35th year, and we are proud of our rich history and strong reputation.
We approach our work through Jewish values, lenses, and culture. Through the 'High Scope' curriculum, combined with a Reggio Emilia approach, and the JCC Association’s Sheva Learning Framework, we serve children between the ages of six weeks-five years in our child centered, family-oriented program. Educated and trained professionals bring deep commitment and a love of children to our classrooms. We pride ourselves on the wonderful year-round educational activities we offer for young children in our community.
We have an open-door policy and invite you to visit us at any time during the school day. The relationships between parents, children, and teachers create a strong sense of community which is critical to the life of the school. We invite families, through ongoing, regular and meaningful conversations, to partner with us in the education and social-emotional growth of their children. We support families on their parenting journey and together celebrate life.
The Goldman Family Preschool is committed to the admission of children of all ethnic backgrounds, cultures, faiths and traditions. We promote acceptance, while at the same time valuing uniqueness. We encourage respect for cultural, physical, economic and religious differences. Striving to create a nurturing and trusting environment, we foster self-esteem, competence and confidence. It is our hope that the experiences we provide will have a lasting positive effect on the children and families we serve.
真摯地，

Children possess innate curiosity about the universe of people, places, and things around them. At the Goldman Family Preschool, we foster these natural instincts. We believe in a strong image of the child and that education is a process, initiated by the child’s interaction and investigation of their world. It is through these interactions that each child is encouraged to wonder, explore, question and discover, using their own unique learning style and interests. Through the High Scope curriculum, sheva framework and inspiration from Reggio Emilia, our program engages children in a broad range of experiences, including meaningful Jewish cultural exploration. By nurturing the minds and spirits of children throughout their first school experience, we give them the foundation to be lifelong learners.
Our educational vision is based on the High Scope Preschool Curriculum. Research based and child focused, High Scope uses a carefully designed process — called "active participatory learning" — to achieve powerful, positive outcomes. By creating a classroom environment that allows for open-ended learning and discovery, we give children a chance to build their understanding of the world. We also believe that learning is a cooperative venture which includes other children, their teachers, their families, and our larger community.
Starting in September of 2024, our School and Summer programs are open from 8:00 am – 3:30 pm, Monday through Friday with Aftercare until 5:00 pm Monday through Thursday. Friday Shabbat will continue to be held at 3:15 every Friday. Day school will end Fridays at 3:30 pm, after which time mandatory staff meetings will be held. See Hours Below:
