At Schwartz Early Childhood School, kids grow into curious, capable, and confident learners. Guided by supportive and skilled teachers, children engage in innovative learning experiences that build strong foundations in language, math, and early literacy. With exceptionally low child-to-teacher ratios and small class sizes, each child benefits from personalized attention in a setting that nurtures emotional, social, physical, and intellectual growth.
Our classrooms are beautiful open spaces filled with natural high-quality materials that encourage creativity and exploration. Children engage with nature through outdoor learning areas and regular sessions with our garden specialist, while our threes, fours, and kindergarten classes also enjoy dedicated pool time each week. This holistic approach ensures that each child has the opportunity to grow, explore, and feel a strong sense of belonging.

The Schwartz ECS Difference
Reggio Emilia-Inspired Philosophy
Our philosophy is rooted in an innovative approach to early childhood education that emphasizes exploration, discovery, and play. We embody this world-renowned philosophy by creating experiences that shape each child’s skills, knowledge, and attitude toward learning. Teachers facilitate engaging and challenging educational opportunities in response to children’s innate sense of wonder, guiding them to become curious, confident, and compassionate learners.

Exceptionally Low Child-to-Teacher Ratios
With exceptionally low child-to-teacher ratios and small class sizes, each child benefits from personalized attention in a setting that nurtures emotional, social, and cognitive growth.
Early Literacy + Math Skills
The early years of a child’s life are full of wonder and curiosity about the world around them. Our Reggio Emilia-inspired philosophy embraces this curiosity, and each day our teachers provide a variety of materials and experiences that guide children to explore and discover the foundations of science, math, literacy, artistic creativity, and language development.
Swimming
Every week, our threes, fours, and kindergarten classes enjoy dedicated time in the SJCC indoor pool. Within a safe and familiar environment, children play, swim, and build their confidence in the water.
Beautiful + Open Classrooms
Our classrooms are beautiful open spaces filled with natural, high-quality materials that encourage creativity and exploration. Children build confidence and connections quickly in our safe and comfortable environment.
Outdoor Play
Outdoor exploration connects children to the world around them. Children engage with nature through outdoor learning areas and regular sessions with our garden specialist. With multiple outdoor play spaces—some for imaginative play, others for pure recreation—our students build confidence, dexterity, and strength as they explore their physical environment. Our Kesher Community Garden teaches children about seasonality, gratitude, harvesting, and the joy of food and flowers.
Special Events
Grandparents Day (L’dor V’dor): An annual celebration for grandparents and special friends.
Truck Day: A hands-on opportunity for children to climb on and explore dozens of big trucks and vehicles.
