Active learners, warm community
|
At Temple Beth Shalom Children's Center children are thinkers who construct knowledge through interacting with the world around them. Working together as a community of learners they ask questions and explore big concepts. Jewish values are woven into the daily curriculum as the children learn to live by our guiding principles: We take care of ourselves, we take care of each other, and we take care of our world. From joyful holiday celebrations to supporting each other through life transitions, the families of Temple Beth Shalom Children’s Center form a warm and welcoming community extending beyond the classroom. At TBSCC learning comes alive.

Experienced and dedicated educators foster a sense of curiosity
|
Teachers are the foundation of a quality educational program. Our teachers are well versed in child development, both by educational training and relevant experience. Our teachers support learning by closely observing each child and planning activities based on their progress and interests. Our educators are certified as early childhood teachers by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and are learners themselves, eagerly participating in ongoing learning to bring the newest thinking in education to your child's school experience.

Daily Schedule
Our daily schedule is structured, yet flexible, providing for a variety of experiences, levels of difficulty, and pacing.
