Children learn through a wide variety of exploratory play activities, led by energetic teachers specializing in early education. Our preschool staff uses art, 音乐, 和 creative movement to stimulate learning at a level appropriate for this age. 使用动手工具, such as blocks 和 puzzles, GOA preschoolers develop an early proficiency with logical thinking that will provide the foundation of future math 和 reading skills. Our teachers also employ play as a route to socialization 和 getting along in a group.
Each year builds sequentially on the next, 和 each day is a reflection of the mission of Golda Och学院. 较低的学校 children build an identity as students 和 members of the community, becoming increasingly masterful at abstract thinking. 有爱心的, nurturing relationships between teachers 和 children enable our students to question the world around them 和 formulate carefully considered opinions. As they interact with each other, they grow to underst和 the value of belonging to a group, 一个家庭, a community 和 the Jewish people.
We provide a text-rich learning environment, where students are exposed a variety of genres 和 begin a more formal study of reading 和 writing in both English 和 Hebrew. Highlights of the 较低的学校 include a Siddur 游戏和 Chumash Celebration, as students deepen their underst和ing of Judaism 和 begin formal Torah study.
