Our staff is warm, nurturing and loving. Our teachers delight in the children
and provide them with the greatest love of all, a love of learning and sharing. All of our staff members are CPR First Aid certified and have been cleared through Live Scan. Our staff members work hard to recognize each child as an individual and strive to meet each child's needs.
Our classes are held in a warm and friendly environment which fosters learning and creative expression. We use an extensive supply of early childhood toys and an array of manipulatives that give our children the hands on experiences they need to expand their imagination and creativity.
We strive to create a home away from home atmosphere where childrenalong with their parents can feel at ease.
Garden of Eden Child Care serves children ages two and three.
We offer two different programs:
Half Day: Two to five days a week of your choice from the hours of
9:00 - 1:00 pm. This program offers a true preschool experience. During this time children will experience circle time, centers, outside play, snack, with Judaic as well as Secular themes.
Full Day: Two to five days a week of your choice from the hours of
9:00 - 3:00 pm. This program offers all the experiences of the half day program, and also includes a rest time, discovery time activity, snack timeand an additional circle time.
Other Programs:
Shabbat Parties: Every Friday at 12:00-12:30 pm we have a Shabbat party. Children enjoy this time as we pick an Ima (Mother) and Abba (Father) to dress up in character and go through the traditions of drinking Kiddush (grape juice) and eating Challah (special Shabbat bread) to welcome the Shabbat.
During this time, children will also learn many songs and stories relating to Shabbat and our holidays. We welcome and encourage our parents to join us the last Friday of each month. Having our parents (and grandparents) participate helps encourage the tradition of spending time with family and friends on Shabbat.
Celebrations and Birthdays: Families will be invited to join us in Holiday celebrations throughout the year. Birthdays are another important celebration. The parentsare invited to come from 12:30 - 1 :00 pm. We provide Kosher cupcakes made in our kitchen with yummy icing and sprinkles. Your child will also receive a special birthday hat and a little treasure of their choice from our birthday box. We will also provide eachchild with a penny for Tzedakah to encourage the idea of charity. A gift for the classroom in honor of your child's birthday is a wonderful way ofteaching your child to think of others on happy, celebrative occasions.
