Our Philosophy

The Laura and Joel Greenzaid Early Childhood Center (GECC) is a commended school by the PJLL (Partnership for Jewish Life and Learning). We are play-based, utilizing an integrated emergent curriculum. Our Early Childhood Center has an outstanding staff who provide the highest quality in early childhood education and encourage children to become good caretakers of our world. We have a garden and a monthly litter-free lunch program.

We provide programs for infants through five years of age. Our programs feature the physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual development of our children. Our educational approach, which integrates Judaic and secular curriculum, is based on the very best of developmentally appropriate practices. At GECC we are committed to excellence in Jewish Early Education!
