Temple Emanu-El believe that children are individual learners; each one gaining skills at their own pace and responding to different styles and methods of teaching.
We strive to create a rich curriculum that meets the needs of all children: visual, auditory, and perceptual learners.
Our philosophy centers itself on the whole child. We aim to nurture and strengthen each child's social, emotional, cognitive, and physical abilities through our program.
We believe that children learn through active play and exploration in a multi-sensory environment.
