Bet Shira - Early Childhood Center

The Bet Shira Early Childhood Center provides a joyful, warm supportive learning environment for children ages 18 months to 6 years. Within a framework of developmentally appropriate experiences in a Jewish context, we highlight cooperative play, literacy, communication, creative expression, sharing and self esteem. All children are helped to develop positive self-concepts and to develop tolerance and understanding for others from different backgrounds.

“Our time is a very shadow that passeth away.”
