Circle of the Arts - Pre-School Division Overview

At Circle of the Arts, children will develop in a loving, nurturing, and stimulating environment. We offer a creative, progressive, Reggio-inspired Jewish program. We believe that children learn best through teacher supported play and creative open-ended activities. Children are encouraged to explore their world in a thoughtfully planned setting. Children practice the skills of collaboration, communication, and cooperation. We look forward to sharing in the joys of your child’s early years, and to learning and growing together.

how we learn

We believe in an experiential and intentional approach to teaching and learning. This approach fosters childrens’ intellectual development as they are encouraged to explore their environment and express themselves through words, movement, drawing, painting, playing and other natural modes of expression. We promote an environment where children can develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills for a successful and meaningful life.
