It is our role to provide a thought-provoking, wondrous and challenging environment that allows the children the room to express themselves and feel confident in their learning. We nurture their social and emotional development, as well as their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Framed within the context of our Jewish tradition, we promote creative exploration in a dynamic learning environment to establish a strong foundation of curiosity, learning, and Jewish values.

The AAE ECC offers a loving, warm and welcoming environment where children are valued for their individuality. We take our inspiration from many sources, primarily Jewish teachings and the Reggio Emilia curriculum philosophy, within a safe, creative and stimulating setting. The children's Jewish experiences are based upon the joy of celebration, song, ritual, and the important connection between the community and the family. The children develop a sense of pride in and a love for their Jewish heritage and the special ways we celebrate Judaism as part of Jewish family life. Every child is unique, with their own interests, learning style, growth timetable, and culture. Learning takes place through our developmentally-based program that values the child's innate curiosity, ability and creativity, as teachers help to shape the curriculum around the children's ideas. When given the time, space, and opportunity to interact in a meaningful environment, a child will construct new ideas through investigation and research in order to link them to existing knowledge. These opportunities enable children to develop a strong sense of community, self-reliance, and are given the foundation for critical thinking necessary throughout life. Extended Hours 7:30am-6pm.

The emphasis is completely on the positive and on the experiential. From the Alef-Bet to the ABC's; the weekly Torah portion to Jewish ethics; subjects are not merely taught in the classroom, but are animated and brought vividly to life - with music, with dance, with stories. Likewise, whether it's a holiday event, a Friday night dinner or a school graduation, there is a special spirit in the air that embraces child and parent alike. This school spiritually feeds the community, and vice versa. In the words of Director Renee Hutchings, Beyond the high level of professionalism we aspire to, there is that abstract dimension that endears this program to all involved. That dimension is love. It's warmth. It's Chabad. read less

The Nook will focus on your child’s development as well as your own. We also invite grandparents on this journey with us. We have a warm and inviting Parent Room for parenting and grandparenting classes that will be led by specialists in infant and child development, and as a place to drop in for support along your parenting journey. Parents will have opportunities to learn about the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development of their children, while connecting with other families and forming a strong support system. By partnering with parents and grandparents during their child’s time with us, we will enhance connections between school and home. While our approach to our young learners will be grounded in Jewish values and traditions, The Nook on Valley Circle will be open to all children, regardless of their family’s personal religious beliefs.

We believe children are natural learners, soaking up the world around them like sponges. We share the image of children as being creative, resourceful, powerful and capable human beings. Our learning environment invites their curiosity and the excitement of discovery in the areas of: art, science, math, dramatic play, large and small motor activities, enhanced language development and music. We encourage children to explore, touch and experience the world around them. We place an emphasis on the whole child and respect that all children learn in different ways. Our integrated approach pays attention to the young child’s physical skill development, self-expression, socialization, coping strategies, cognitive learning, as well as his or her emotional adjustment and well-being. You won’t see perfect crafts or any emphasis on the finished product. Learning happens during the struggle, frustration and truly delightful discoveries throughout the day.

Through a combination of innovative teaching methods and integration of technology in the classroom, our teachers are able to create an engaged and exciting classroom atmosphere. By acting as facilitators instead of instructors, our teachers create an active learning environment. Middos Tovos Come First: Character development is a lifelong process that must begin in childhood. We teach even our youngest students that who you are is more important than what you know. Chessed, Emes, and Ahavas Yisroel are a few of the middos that are woven into all subject matters. Torah is Our Lifeline: Cultivating a genuine sense of Chashivus HaTorah and Shmiras HaMitzvos is of paramount importance and is consistently emphasized to our students. To ensure each of our students can realize the sweetness of Limud Hatorah, we provide a strong foundation in Kriah and analytical thinking. A Strong Secular Education is Essential: Having access to an excellent general education prepares our students for a rapidly changing global economy. We believe children should have the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in any field they desire. Research-based, developmentally appropriate curricula and best–practice teaching methods ensure our students can meet any challenges they encounter. An Excellent Staff: A Yeshiva is only as good as the people who staff it. We are dedicated to hiring the finest Rebbeim, Moros, and Teachers available. We value and respect our team of educators, who give so much of themselves to the children. This helps us attract talented and experienced teachers to our growing school, filling vital positions in the Yeshiva and in the community. A Safe Classroom Environment: A warm, friendly, and safe classroom enable children to focus and thrive. The Yeshiva has assumed a zero-tolerance stance against all forms of bullying, including, but not limited to: verbal, physical, and emotional abuse. Working as a Team We Accomplish More: A healthy Parent-Yeshiva relationship is vital to the development of every child. Continuous and clear communication between the school and the home is consistently maintained. We realize the critical role parents play in their child’s growth and very much value their feedback. read less
