The Billy Dalwin Pre-School of Temple Emunah is an inclusive Jewish developmental preschool committed to creating a sense of community. We provide a warm and caring environment that fosters a positive Jewish identity and respects the diversity of backgrounds and observances of our preschool families. The Pre-School is committed to creating a sense of community for our children, parents and staff. Our curriculum blends secular and Judaic programming, providing a wide range of "hands-on" learning experiences to enhance the social, physical and cognitive growth of each child. Developmentally appropriate individual and group experiences enable each of our students to grow and progress at his/her own individual rate. As an inclusive program, we welcome children with significant special needs as full participants in all of our classroom activities.
Our objectives are to:
• Provide for the physical and emotional well-being of each child, building self-esteem and self-confidence;
• Create a stimulating learning environment that will develop social, motor, language, and cognitive skills;
• Foster a positive Jewish identity by exploring our religious and cultural heritage in a joyous, creative, and nurturing environment;
• Provide a quality Jewish pre-school experience for children with a wide range of abilities, interests and needs; and
• Create a school environment that facilitates friendships among all children, regardless of ability, interests, religious/cultural background, or family observance.
