The Karen and Gary Schwartz Early Childhood School is deeply rooted in Jewish values that carry universal relevance—such as joy, community, learning, and empathy. Children grow in an environment enriched with Jewish culture and traditions, where we weave Judaism’s middot and mitzvot (morals and values) seamlessly into daily learning. We believe these core values create intentional, engaged, and responsible lifelong learners and community citizens.
Jewish values guide our approach to building a strong, inclusive community among children, their families, and the broader world.
Our Values in Action
- Art, storytelling, and music echo timeless themes and teachings rich with Judaic values, respect for one another, and life-framing lessons.
- Weekly community Shabbat celebrations with challah baking, song and dance are a joyful way to mark the end of the week.
- Middot and Mitzvot (morals and values) show up in our school regularly through charitable giving drives and intentional classroom experiences.
- Our Hebrew + English bilingual option combines the many benefits of early bilingual education with intrinsically Jewish culture and values.
- Our school’s connection to Jewish values extends beyond our walls, linking us to a larger network of Jewish community centers across North America. Through this network, we support innovative, thoughtful early childhood education that reflects the best of Jewish culture and universal human connection.
