Top Notch Academics
Report
The Reggio Emilia approach to Early Childhood Education began in Italy, shortly after WWII. Parents wanted schools where children could acquire the skills of critical thinking and collaboration in beautiful, stimulating environments.
U.S. interest in Reggio Inspired Learning began in the late 1980's, and then internationally in 1991, when a panel of experts commissioned by Newsweek Magazine hailed the Reggio Approach as an exemplary model of Early Childhood Education and identified the preschools of Reggio Emilia, Italy, in an in-depth look at the "best top ten schools in the world" (Newsweek 1991 - PDF).

Jewish Values
Report
It is every parent's dream to raise a "mentch, " or good citizen. We try our best to impart Jewish values in our children to help them to become responsible adults. Examples include charity, recycling, learning to take care of our bodies and our belongings and caring for others. We carefully select teachers who model and nurture Jewish values such as kindness, friendship, empathy, and respect for the environment and the rights of others.
After School Enrichment
Report
Through our after school enrichment classes students at The J will be exposed to foreign languages, art, music, computers, physical activity and so much more. Our enrichment opportunities are an important part of our program. They enhance and support our curriculum. These activities address the childrens' inner need to learn, achieve, and become adept at a skill.
