Programs

At TCEE, we have a variety of high-quality, developmentally-appropriate programs available, most with flexible schedules designed to meet the needs of busy modern families. Our weekly schedule includes specials such as art, music, and yoga for all ages, infants through TK. Children do not change groups mid-year; groupings change at the start of our summer program in June and the start of our school year in September.

Toddler Program for children aged 1 year 3 months - 2 years 6 months

Toddlers build nurturing relationships with teachers and enjoy first friendships while learning to cope with being away from their parents and caregivers. Teachers facilitate their growing curiosity about the world. The children take joy in observing Shabbat and celebrating Jewish holidays all year long!


Meets 9am – 12:45pm with flexible schedule options 3, 4, or 5 days a week. See below for early drop-off and extended day options.

Preschool Program for children aged 3 years to 4 years

Younger preschoolers thrive and grow as part of a community. They begin to build friendships and group interaction skills that will support them through life. They begin to use tools and symbols to help them refine their understanding of the world, and celebrate their own independence by building self-help skills. They enjoy celebrating Shabbat and Jewish holidays, with a particular focus on the symbols associated with each.

Meets 9am – 1:00pm with flexible schedule options  3, 4, or 5 days a week. See below for early drop-off and extended day options.

Step into Preschool Program for children aged 2 years 6 months to 3 years old

Our Step into Preschool program is designed to meet the changing needs of children as they grow from toddlers to preschoolers. The group starts the year more like a toddler class and becomes a preschool class over the course of the year, focusing on developing the independence, self-help skills, social emotional understand that will allow students to move through the group transitions and problem-solving routines in a larger preschool class with ease.

Meets 9am – 1:00pm with flexible schedule options  3, 4, or 5 days a week. See below for early drop-off and extended day options.

Transitional Kindergarten Program for children who will be 4 years old by August 31st

The Transitional Kindergarten (TK) class is a way for older Pre-K students to become acquainted with the longer school day and daily routines of a Kindergarten-style classroom. This includes extended literacy, science, and social studies explorations, along with many opportunities for small group work. The class will have an ongoing co-constructed emergent curriculum throughout the school year.

Meets from 9:00am – 3:30pm, M-F, 5 days a week only. See below for early drop-off and extended day options.
