by Phyllis Lyons, Director, Early Childhood Education Center at Temple Sinai
Every child is special and unique, with their own amazing path to follow. At Early Childhood Education Center (ECEC), we believe in celebrating each child’s individuality while also helping them learn to play and grow together. At the ECEC at Temple Sinai, we create a warm and friendly environment where children can explore, learn, and make new friends.
Our learning program is designed to help your child grow in every way – from making friends to building confidence. We focus on creating a happy and safe place where kids can learn through play and discovery.
We consider ourselves an extension of your family. Our teachers are here to support both you and your child, offering a loving and caring atmosphere.
We love to see our little ones explore and learn through hands-on activities. Our preschool is filled with exciting things to discover, and we encourage curiosity and creativity in every child.
We’re proud to be a place where children from all backgrounds can come together to learn and celebrate. ECEC is a place of joy, kindness, and respect, where we share in the beauty of Jewish traditions while welcoming families of all faiths.
We are small, so every teacher knows every child. When you enter the building there is a feeling of friendliness and community. When you enter a classroom there are smiling teachers and children fully engaged. I truly enjoy coming to work each day.
