OUR SCHOOL

The development of the whole child is of the utmost importance to us as we prepare our students to transition to elementary school and beyond. We begin the development process by first building and creating relationships. Our teachers’ top priority is to establish a trusting and collaborative bond with both the students and parents in their class.

Through creating a connection based on mutual respect and open communication, our teachers and parents are able to share observations and information about what is happening in the classroom and at home. This ongoing, two-way exchange creates a home-to-school partnership that achieves the best possible results for your child.

TEACHERS & STAFF

We encourage and empower our teachers’ enthusiasm for learning. In addition to attending conferences and seminars, our educators engage in weekly reflective supervision meetings and monthly staff development.

It is our commitment to our teachers, students, and parents to continuously grow as a learning community so that we can provide the latest research-based best practices for every child’s early childhood education.

” I am so impressed at how warm and friendly everyone has been.  I feel very supported in my efforts with supplies and ideas.”

“I appreciate the warm community that we have built at the GECC: among the staff, with the families and with the entire JCC.”

“I like that we work together as a team and if you have a question you can ask somebody and they are always willing to help and share ideas and materials with you.”

“The JCC is great at understanding every employee is also a human being where life happens sometimes and extra support is needed.”

“I love working here but I think one of the most important ones for me is that I feel valued- seen and heard. I’m asked for my opinion and ideas. I feel seen by my employers, encouraged, and supported.”

“The administration has helped me discover my own potential and provided me with the support needed to be the best I can be.  Being seen and treated as a professional gives me a real sense of respect for what I do.”

” I love that we are so focused on what is developmentally appropriate for children and what is right for each specific child to meet their needs and spark their interest.”

” I appreciate the support we get from the administration team and the freedom to follow the interests of the children in our care. This creates infectious enthusiasm for learning at the GECC.”
