Welcome To The Schwartz/Reisman Daycare and Preschool
Welcome To The Schwartz/Reisman Daycare and Preschool
At the Schwartz/Reisman Daycare and Preschool, we believe it’s essential for children to feel like they’re part of a healthy and vibrant community. That’s why, despite the many challenges and obstacles this past year has presented, our programs have been running safely since reopening in July 2020. We remain committed to providing our students with a safe and inviting learning environment to help them play, learn, laugh and grow together.
Inspired Learning
With the goal of preparing students for elementary school, our curriculum promotes literacy, math, social/emotional development and fine motor skills while providing a wide range of experiences as well as learning and discovery opportunities.
A Welcoming Community
When your child becomes enrolled at The Schwartz/Reisman JCC Daycare and Preschool, you are joining more than just the school community. Parents and siblings are welcomed to experience our fitness centre and exercise classes, art programs, family events and much more as part of the JCC family.
Sheva Learning Framework
Seven principles guide our Sheva Program: children as constructivist learners, early childhood directors as visionaries, early childhood educators as professionals, families as engaged partners, environments as inspiration for inquiry, discover CATCH as Sh'mirat Haguf (taking care of our body) and Israel as a source and resource.
Practicing Judaism
Starting at an early age, we ensure that the children begin to engage with their Jewish identity by celebrating holidays and traditions through songs, crafts, dancing, storytelling and enjoying traditional holiday foods. Celebrating Jewish traditions and values enriches the Jewish experience for each child. A favourite experience of the children is baking fresh challah and participating in our Shabbat celebrations.
Our Educators
Each teacher has been carefully selected and oriented to our school’s values, philosophy, and community to provide the finest early childhood education possible. They view themselves as partners in your child’s development and your family’s growth. Teachers work collaboratively to create environments and experiences that spark wonder and creativity, build confidence and skills, allow children to explore materials, and encourage a questioning mind.
The J Experience:
The JCC has a proud history of bringing people together from across the community through education, the arts, sports and other cultural activities that create meaningful memories and relationships that last a lifetime. It’s time for the community to talk together, work out together, sing together, and be together. It’s Time For Togetherness!
