Beit Rabban's early childhood program in The Gan at Beit Rabban provides a meaningful and compelling early childhood environment for contemporary Jewish families seeking supportive communities and the highest quality Jewish education for their children. The Gan at Beit Rabban promotes meaningful partnerships between teachers and parents who work together to gain a deeper understanding of each individual child. Relationships are developed between parents, children and staff and each family's challenges and joys are supported and shared.
In 2005, The Gan at Beit Rabban was one of twelve schools selected nationwide to participate as a model school in the prestigious Jewish Early Childhood Education Initiative.
In a warm, creative and intellectually stimulating environment we deliver a quality early childhood preschool experience for children with the following broad goals:
- To develop a strong sense of Jewish community and belonging among the children, their families and our staff as they participate in the life of our school
- To develop relationships and work closely in partnership with parents in this key developmental period for children and families
- To embark on a journey of Jewish life and Jewish learning
- For the children to develop confidence in themselves as competent individuals and as learners
- To provide an environment in which the key processes of early childhood social and emotional development are nurtured and the building blocks for healthy growth are the focus of concern
- To promote intellectual development and build the foundations necessary for learning readiness across the curriculum: in particular, in the areas of developing curiosity, speech and communication; relating to one another; books and stories; and artistic and other languages of expression
- To facilitate age appropriate physical development and to develop strong fine and gross motor skills
- To provide an environment rich in both the English and Hebrew language as a foundation for successful linguistic development
