Classes from birth through Pre-K
Our Nadel Center for Early Childhood Education (NCECE) begins with our Baby Center and Parent/Child classes and continues through Pre-K. We have multiple day and time options for each age, early care, after care and enrichments. We offer Judaics, movement, yoga, science, music, PE, storytime, and mindfulness awareness classes (for PreK) taught by specialists. Our students have fun playing on our five outdoor play areas, exploring in our Environmental Awareness Garden, and learning in our Feldman Children’s Library /Howard Computer Lab staffed by our award-winning librarian. Daily schedules include a balance of activities and learning experiences that are designed to create friendships and nurture the development of the whole child.

At this age, with burgeoning social language skills, children become more interested in their peers and have a better understanding of what it means to be part of a group. Children participate in classroom jobs and develop a sense of responsibility as a community member. Through open-ended and more structured activities, our Three’s students learn early literacy and math concepts including upper and lowercase letter recognition, consonant letter sounds, writing strokes, measurement, sequencing and more. Teachers encourage the children to ask questions, approach challenges and express their thoughts.

Pre-K is designed to provide our children with the optimal balance of structure, independence and nurturing as they build their social-emotional, fine and gross motor, and cognitive skills. Literacy and math concepts such as letter sounds, writing, rhyming, classifying, graphing, addition and subtraction are woven into their daily activities. They express themselves in journals, enjoy group activities and share ideas. Our teachers understand that our children are figuring out how to navigate their increasingly sophisticated social world and foster the concept empathy for their peers. By the end of the year, our Pre-K students are ready and eager for Kindergarten! NCECE participates in Florida’s Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) program.
