Welcome to our new website! Take a look around. We are actively improving your user experience every day. Thank you for your patience as we make this upgrade to our operations.
The ECA operates Monday through Friday with flexible hours designed to support working families. Extended care and enrichment options are available before and after the core program day.
The JCC Association Sheva framework elevates early childhood education in Jewish Community Centers by identifying Seven Core Elements as the underpinning of quality education. Each element has its own set of best practices and principles, blending educational excellence with Jewish values and traditions.
The MBJCC Early Childhood Academy blends research-backed educational methods with Jewish values to create an environment where every child can thrive. Here is what sets us apart.
We empower kids as active learners through play, hands-on exploration, and inquiry-based projects that nurture curiosity, self-reliance, and critical thinking.
Our program incorporates Jewish values and traditions into every aspect of the school day, fostering a meaningful connection to Jewish identity, Israel, and community.
We believe families are essential partners in a child’s education. We value and actively seek family input, involvement, and engagement throughout the year.
At our Early Childhood Academy, we cherish every child’s unique journey and potential. We embrace the Creative Curriculum, a research-backed, holistic approach to early education. Through play and meaningful projects, it nurtures development in all areas: social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and language. This approach supports individualized learning, sparks curiosity, and cultivates confidence and critical thinking — enhancing children’s readiness for school and beyond.
At our Early Childhood Academy, we believe every child is a unique learner who deserves a holistic and child-centered education. That is why we combine empowering kids as active learners through play, while encouraging hands-on learning, fostering self-reliance and critical thinking. Our experienced educators seamlessly integrate these methodologies to cultivate a nurturing environment where every child can flourish and grow. Parents can feel confident knowing their children are in good hands with our dedicated and caring staff. Limited spots are available for ages 2, 3, and 4 — enroll today.
