Our classrooms are full of music and play, exploring and trying, laughing and dancing, building and creating. Work and play are one in early childhood, so our classrooms are set up to be places where children make choices and engage in hands-on learning while our teachers enrich and extend their endeavors. Teachers reflect regularly to plan experiences that are geared toward the children’s needs, abilities and interests.
Temple Israel’s ECC is a NAEYC accredited, Reggio-inspired, diverse Jewish preschool where children and families build Jewish identity, culture, and values.
We are proud to have a 4-star Parent-Aware rating—the highest rating possible.
Prospective Parents
Curriculum Summary
Our curriculum includes four main components: Everyday Structure, Judaism, Anti-Bias Education, and Reggio Emilia-Inspired Education.
Variance Explanation
Our license is for children ages 16 months to pre-kindergarten; however, we can apply for a variance which allows us to provide care outside of that age range for an individual child.
Apply for an Early Learning Scholarship
Our families who qualify can apply.
Immunization Statement
Temple Israel requires learners to be up to date on immunizations, except in rare cases of medical exemption. Families are required to provide documentation each year that their child is immunized according to the Minnesota Department of Health Immunization Schedule and up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations to the greatest extent currently possible.
