This week, our educators have been giving it their all…cleaning and rearranging rooms, learning together, and building new relationships with each other and new materials. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone at Open House!

Shabbat Shalom! Our ECLC Annual Learning Exhibit — Tracing Children's Thinking: Stories of Inquiry, Expression, and Belonging — is up now in the Bodzin Art Gallery!

This exhibit celebrates the many ways young children make meaning of their world. Through inquiry, play, relationships, creativity, and collaboration, each classroom journey reveals the richness of children's ideas and the unique paths they take as learners. From infants exploring through their senses to older children investigating identity, community, sound, storytelling, and nature, this exhibit highlights the visible traces of learning that emerge when children's thinking is honored, documented, and shared.

Come take a look next time you're at the J!

We asked our teachers and families what makes the ECLC special. This is what they said.

ECLC is a place where teachers follow your child's curiosity, where families find community, and where the connections you make last long after the preschool years. Our educators show up with curiosity and intention, and our families show up for each other.

Thank you to everyone who shared their story. Our teachers, families, and kids say it better than we ever could!

If your family is looking for a place like this for the 2026-2027 school year, we would love to meet you. A few spots remain across our full-day full-time 0-5 programs. Schedule a tour at theJ.org/ECLC.

Seeing global leaders take the time to learn from educators and children, and to elevate innovative, child‑centered education, really matters. Reggio Emilia has influenced classrooms around the world, and this visit helps bring that philosophy to an even wider audience.

A powerful reminder that how we educate our youngest learners shapes the future.

Yesterday’s Alice in Wonderland tea party and book swap brought the whimsy, and today we’re fueled by The Very Hungry Caterpillar with a fresh, nourishing salad bar. So grateful for our amazing educators!

This morning, our 2s, 3s, and 4s classes came together for individual, age‑appropriate Seders in the community room! The children were filled with excitement as they walked in quickly finding their seats and eagerly anticipating what was to come. They listened closely to the Passover story throughout the Seder, joyfully engaging with the songs and traditions. Each class helped create a special part of the Seder by cooking matzo balls, broth, and charoset  and creating a meaningful, hands‑on connection between their classroom learning and the celebration of the joyous holiday.
