Preschool

Mission Statement

At the HEA Preschool, our mission is to provide a nurturing and dynamic play-based environment where Jewish values, and traditions, are integrated into every aspect of early childhood education. We are dedicated to fostering a love of learning, celebrating cultural heritage, and encouraging the growth of each child’s unique potential. Through creative play, hands-on experiences, and meaningful interactions, we aim to cultivate curiosity, empathy, and a sense of community.

HEA Preschool Philosophy

Play is the major activity of all young children and the basic ingredient of their learning. It is the medium for self-expression in the way each child organizes and makes sense of the world. To play is to invent, hypothesize, test, and discover. It provides the most permanent and meaningful learning of cognitive concepts. Play promotes social values. Social sensitivity is not something that is suddenly achieved. It is a slow process that involves learning how to share, cooperate, and empathize with others, building interpersonal trust and emotional maturity. We provide a large variety of constructive, dramatic, and creative materials and experiences to facilitate this growth.
