Camp Life
Jewish Life
The
Bernice
B. Godine JCC Early Learning Center integrates Jewish values and
culture into
our child-centered curriculum. We challenge each other to 'learn,
understand
and do' as it is written in the Torah, the Jewish people's
"instructions
for living". Through songs, stories, dances and word-recognition, the
children are exposed to the Hebrew language and to the richness of
living in a
multi-lingual world.
Each
Friday,
children celebrate Shabbat with blessings, songs and challah (bread)
making.
Each week, a different child is the "Shabbat helper", an honor that
draws the children to actively participate in the joyous celebration of
Shabbat. Throughout the year, we celebrate Jewish holidays, as well as
the life
cycle events of our children's families.
