Early Childhood Center (ECC)(303) 316-6377 • preschool@jccdenver.org

The ECC is awelcoming and inclusive communitywhich is built on prin-ciples of trust and respect. Through the collaborative efforts of teachers,children, parents and staff, each individual is valued for his or her uniquecontribution to the community.We provide opportunities for everyoneto learn, grow and develop a culture of mutual appreciation and respect.We believe that children are competent, curious, capable and deserving ofindividualized attention. Our curriculum is play-based, child-directedand emerges through the interests of each child.

Our Philosophy and GoalsOur program is designed to help develop the whole child: socially, intel-lectually, emotionally and physically.We encourage the development ofchildren’s inner resources: curiosity, creativity, imagination, independ-ence, a love of learning and self–esteem. Learning to play cooperativelyand building positive relationships with friends are fundamental com-ponents of our program. Our caring and experienced staff encouragesjoy from learning, enthusiasm for exploration and discovery and a highregard for self and others. The result is an environment that offers one ofthe city’s finest early childhood programs.

We Inspire Jewish JourneysEveryday experiences are infused by Jewish tradition. We encouragean exploration of the cultural, spiritual and ethical aspects of Judaismthrough holiday celebrations, teaching and performing gemilutchasadim (acts of loving kindness) and demonstrating respect for theworld around us. An Ethical Start serves as the foundation of learningabout values and ethical behavior and is a part of our classroom andparent learning communities. Teachers and parents work together tolearn how the teachings of Pirkei Avot (Ethics of our Fathers) influ-ence the way we treat each other and build our community. Fridaysbring a special celebration of the Sabbath with school–wide groupsinging, concerts, snacks and Shabbat guests.

The Power of the Learning EnvironmentThe physical environment is viewed as an integral partner in thelearning experience.We provide classroom environments that are au-thentic and natural in appearance and engaging and stimulating infeel. The classrooms are designed to serve as an extension of the homeenvironment to support the child’s feeling of safety and security. Ourclassroom design and play–based curriculum encourage children tomake choices and to work independently and in small groups. Eachroom holds a variety of activity centers to stimulate self–initiatedlearning and socialization. Developmental areas such as literacy andcreative arts, math, problem solving and dramatic play are experi-enced through an environment which offers open-ended materialsand equipment, allowing children the chance to use their imagina-tion and creativity to foster their development.

Curriculum

The ECC offers a child–centered curriculum based on an emergent ap-proach. Through careful observation and documentation of children’sinterests and play, teachers create discussion topics that capture chil-

dren’s natural curiosity.Our Judaic curriculum is interwoven in all thatwe teach. We strive to provide a happy and relaxed learning situationthat emphasizes the process of learning and the pleasure of discovery.As part of our belief that learning takes place through play and“hands–on” experiences, children are encouraged to develop creativity andcritical thinking skills through a balance of structured activities andinteractive play.

Staff and FacultyOur staff is made up of warm, caring individuals who are professionalsin their field.Our faculty participates in on-going training in early child-hood and Jewish education.Through age-group teamwork, teachers learnfrom and support one another in applying best practices in the field ofearly childhood educations.Our staff is enthusiastic, creative and eager towork with parents to enhance every child’s preschool experience.

Family PartnershipsWe view parents as an integral partner in the child’s learning experi-ence. Teachers work with parents to learn about children’s specificneeds, as well as share information about the classroom experiences.Positive relationships with parents are fundamental in the work that wedo at the ECC. The ParentVolunteer Association (PVA) counts on par-ent involvement to enhance various aspects of our community throughfundraising, special events, a family newsletter and parent education.

Openings are still available in ECC classes for the 2010—2011 schoolyear. Please call Leah Joffe at (303) 316-6377 to register.

Denver Jewish Community Book Reads 2010Dara Horn, All Other NightsTwo-time National Jewish Book Award WinnerWednesday, Nov. 10, 7 p.m., Philips Social Hall$8/general admission; $6/senior, student, JCC memberSponsored by Kathy Neustadt and theNSK Neustadt Prize for Children’s LiteratureHow is this night different from all other nights? For Jacob Rappoport,a Jewish soldier in the Union army, it is a question that his command-ers have answered for him: on Passover 1862 he is ordered tomurder hisown uncle, who is plotting to assassinate President Lincoln. What fol-lows is Dara Horn’s All Other Nights: a gripping epic about great moralstruggles of the Civil War as seen through the eyes of a Jewish familywith loyalties on both sides, divided by theMason Dixon line. The stun-ning novel gives the reader an unusual glimpse into Jewish life duringthe CivilWar period. Historical figures appear throughout the intricatetale, including Judah Benjamin, Secretary of State to Jefferson Davis andthe first Jewish cabinet member in American history. Combining ro-mance within a historical spy novel and political thriller, this is a talethat masterfully deals with the complexities of the period. The intri-cate workings of an African-American spy network is also woven withinthe story and uncovers yet another little known aspect of the war.

All Other Nights is a suspenseful story of men and women driven to theextreme limits of loyalty and betrayal. It is also a brilliant parable of therift in America that lingers a century and a half later: between those whovalue family and tradition first and those dedicated, at any cost, to thesocial and racial justice for all. www.darahorn.com

The book All Other Nights, is on sale now at the MACC box office andJCC front desk. Proceeds benefit the MACC.
