Sharing our Values

1/18/2019

Over the summer our Early Learning Center Leadership team decided that the Jewish values that we had chosen in 2011 when we started our Reggio journey, didn’t necessarily define who we are now, in the 2018-19 school year. After meeting with Rabbi Jeremy Weisblatt, we came up with eleven items, three phrases and eight Hebrew words, that we thought would best define our school.

  1. The Early Childhood Director as a visionary
  2. The Early Childhood Educator as a professional
  3. Families as engaged partners
  4. Tikkun Olam  (acts of kindness to performed to repair or perfect the world)
  5. Masa (Journey)
  6. Kehilla (Community)
  7. Simcha (Joy)
  8. Mishpachah (Family)
  9. Kavanah (Intention)
  10. Kavanah  (intention)
  11. Shema (Hear or Listen)

Over the next few weeks, we’ll share with you how we see these values playing out in our school. We also invite you to share with us examples of these that you see happening in our classrooms and with the children
