Preschoolers experience so many firsts. For our families, CJP provides them with their first connection to Shalom Park’s numerous agencies and often a first connection to Jewish life.
Our curriculum takes a student-centered approach to Early Childhood education where children learn by experience and is designed to respect each child as a capable and unique individual.
From weekly special lessons to special events, our students enjoy activies that enrich their everyday experiences through play, exploration, and celebration.
Judaism is the foundation for our curriculum and Jewish values are incorporated into students' experiences through daily activities, observance of traditions, and exploration of Jewish culture.
Our teachers and staff are dedicated to creating a loving and safe environment that instills within each child an excitement towards learning and a joyful attitude toward Judaism.
Even our infants are deep into their Rosh Hashanah learning and exploration! They're feeling real shofars, playing with apples, and sharing materials together. ... See MoreSee Less
In Morah Rachel's and Ms. Lauren's Dagim class there’s a heavy emphasis on sensory exploration while strengthening fine motor skills for our young twos. Students got messy in our beautiful MakerSpace painting with apples of various colors and sizes. They practiced cutting in our sensory bin- slicing up the Honey Comb cereal was fun and smells so sweet. They have made bees out of honey scented playdough, and mashed up beeswax pastilles using small wooden implements. But, it was searching outdoors for natural materials to use for our our class shofar that was the class favorite! Shana Tova U’ Metuka - have a sweet and good new year! 🐝🍎🍯#reggioinspiredpreschool#roshhashanah#jewishnewyear#earlychildhoodeducation... See MoreSee Less
What kind of choices did you make this year? Ms. Megan and Ms. Talya challenged their students to consider what were “green choices” and what were “red choices” as they reflected for Rosh Hashanah. Then students painted with water colors and explored the story of Jonah and the big fish! #reggioinspiredpreschool#yomkippur... See MoreSee Less
As students were exploring the sound of the shofar, Ms. Talya and Ms. Amonnie asked what kind of sound would we need to announce that Rosh Hashanah was coming - loud or soft? They experimented with drums, bristle blocks, sticks, poppers and more to determine if their object could be an announcing tool. Then, students listened to jazz music, classical music, and Rosh Hashanah favorites while alternating between “loud” paint brushes and “soft” paintbrushes. Students had so much fun learning about the Jewish New Year through sound, sensory, and art! #reggioinspiredpreschool#roshhashanah... See MoreSee Less
