A place to grow.

Nothing is more important than helping to shape a young life. At our three Early Childhood Centers (ECCs), we take that responsibility very seriously, making it our goal to provide educational excellence in a nurturing Jewish environment that welcomes children and families of all backgrounds. We offer full- and part-time programs for Infants and Toddlers (ages 4 months to 2 years), and Pre-schoolers (ages 2 to 5 years), designed to stimulate their imaginations, ignite their natural curiosity, and encourage their social development.

At the core of our program is our mission of incorporating important values like kindness and generosity into daily lessons. Parents and teachers are encouraged to work together to make every lesson more meaningful--both at home and at school. It is our belief that these first school experiences will help our children acquire the skills and knowledge they need to excel in life, so we do everything we can to make them exciting, engaging, and full of discovery.

We invite you to come and experience a world of wonder, excitement, and discovery at the Beatrice Fox Auerbach Early Childhood Center in West Hartford, the Shirley Reaback Early Childhood Center (Hours & Programs) in Glastonbury or the JCC/FVJC Emek Shalom Early Childhood Center (Hours & Programs) in Simsbury.
