Temple Beth Ahm Yisrael

Early Childhood Program

Thank you for your interest in the Early Childhood Program at Temple Beth Ahm Yisrael. We have created a warm, positive and nurturing environment that enhances our children’s emotional, intellectual, social and physical development. We recognize that every child is unique and allow each child to experiment, explore, create, share and learn at his or her own pace. We have a small student/teacher ratio, with state certified teachers. We are sure that you will agree that the Early Childhood Program at Temple Beth Ahm Yisrael will be a wonderful experience. Please feel free to contact Sandi Newman with any questions. Follow the ECP on Facebook.

Summer Camp

We provide a warm, nurturing and child centered environment in which the children can make friends, be active in the fresh air, and enjoy summer. Campers are provided with opportunities for discovery and exploration. Our campers will participate in a variety of activities including arts & crafts, cooking, music, science, splash pad, story time and much more. The Kona Ice Truck will visit us for a special treat for Shabbat.

Camp is a very hands on experience. Your children will be very busy having a great time – which includes getting messy. Please send your child to camp wearing his/her bathing suit. Once they are done playing in the splash pad, they will be dressed to play and explore. Campers should wear sneakers or other closed toe shoes. Please be sure to label your child’s belongings including shoes. Please apply sunscreen before coming to camp. Sunscreen will be reapplied during the day.
