Early childhood learning is the centerpiece of JCCs nationally. JCCA (Jewish Community Center Association of North America) pronounced the Merage JCC's Aronoff Preschool a Sheva Distinguished Community of Learning. The honor recognizes our preschool for being an innovator and modeling the Jewish principles and values, as well as integrating excellent education practices. One of five Sheva Communities, the Merage JCC is recognized as a leader with a dynamic vision of excellence in Jewish early childhood education.
There’s nothing like sharing in happiness, kindness and respect for one another. Every Friday, our school celebrates Shabbat where we take a pause, reflect and recharge for the week ahead.
Using a Reggio - inspired approach to early childhood education our teacher's design an emergent, integrated curriculum based on the shared interests of the students & teachers. Children work collaboratively with one another, we work in small and large groups, to prepare kids for kindergarten, we value the children’s ideas and opinions. Research shows that children learn and retain more information when it has value to the many hands-on activities.
Where kindness, excellence in education and life-long learning is our DNA. We advocate for our students to become independent thinkers who approach life with curiosity and determination.
