HAR SHALOM
Early Childhood Education Center
The Most Important and Decisive Period in Education is Early Childhood

Welcome!


   

For more than 30 years, our unique Early Childhood Jewish Education program has provided a high quality, safe, nurturing, inclusive environment that promotes the physical, social, emotional, spiritual and cognitive development of children. At the same time, we foster a positive Jewish identify and help each child develop an appreciation of their Jewish heritage. In addition, we offer a child-centered, play-centered, developmentally appropriate curriculum for young children.

Our experienced and nurturing staff helps each child adjust to the separation between home and school. Each staff member is selected based on a love of children, education and experience. All teachers are college graduates with a degree in and/or experience in the field of early childhood education. Our staff participatesin ongoing educational training to enhance their individual strengths and the education of their students. Frequent communications are sent home, and parents are constantly informed of their child's progress, milestones, and daily activities.


We believe that parent involvement has a strong positive effect on the success of children later in life. We encourage parents to participate in our school and strive to form close ties in support of the development and education of their children. Frequent communications are sent home, and parents are constantly informed of their child's progress, milestones, and daily activities. Our Parent Committee meets monthly and is involved with all aspects of the school, as well as fundraising activities.

Har Shalom ECEC is approved by the Maryland State Department of Education and commended by the Partnership for Jewish Life and Learning (PJLL). We include children with special needs and we accept children of all races, creeds and national origins.
