Early Childhood Center
BJBE’s Early Childhood Program at the Chava Center serves young children from 6 months to 4 years of age. Dedicated to building self-esteem and Jewish identity in a developmentally appropriate setting, the Program has programs year-round, including Shabbat experiences, nursery school, enrichment classes and extended day options.
Our professional staff, including volunteer grandparents, is dedicated to providing a warm, nurturing, Jewish atmosphere in which to learn. Our Rabbis and Cantor are very involved in the program and enjoy frequent interaction with the students.
Our philosophy of education is developmentally based. We learn through play. All of our activities are geared to your child's abilities and creative spirit. Fostering social skills and preparation for kindergarten are important areas of concentration.
Jewish holidays are a significant part of our curriculum. Every tradition and every observance is centered around hands-on activities and experiences. Shabbat is a very special time at school. Our school "family" is often joined by members of our students' families at the Shabbat table.
Helping to create Jewish family memories is an important goal in our school. Often, the whole family is invited to participate in a Jewish experience - From decorating our sukkah to sharing a model seder.
Our aim is to provide your child with the best Jewish early childhood education possible. Contact Sandy Robbins or Debbie Becker for more information at (847) 940-7575.
