The objectives of a good nursery program is to create a warm, healthy and happy environment where small children can grow and develop
emotionally and cognitively as well as physically.
At Kiddie Korner we strive to do this in a most professional and caring manner. Additionally, we endeavour to impart a love and flair for the beauty
of our religion and culture, as well as nurture and develop faith and trust in G‑d. We hope to inculcate a love for Israel, all things Jewish and an
involvement in the performance of the mitzvot (good deeds) of the Torah. Ivrit - Hebrew language - is used in both formal and informal instruction
and becomes a part of the daily routine, as well as holiday fun and games.
In early childhood, the seeds of learning, Jewish identity, curiosity and caring are planted. Our program spans a period of intense personal, social
and academic growth. Young children develop at different paces. Our teachers are sensitive to the wide range of abilities and developmental
levels within this age group. They offer creative activities that fit into the broad developmental continuum represented by the students.
Each classroom has teachers who guide the children and promote active learning, problem-solving, discovery of friendship and exploration of their
new, expanded learning world. The classroom is a community in which Jewish values are modeled and reinforced and the Hebrew language is
introduced through songs, games, and simple conversation. The curriculum combines structured and unstructured activities that encourage young
children's most important work-creative play. Every day is filled with art, music, stories, language, Jewish living, and hands-on exploration.
Our classrooms are all well-outfitted with state-of-the-art preschool furnishings. We have our own ergonomically designed playground and special
outdoor equipment.
