What is our vision for nurturing the minds, souls, and hearts of our community?
Our Vision:
Shalom Children’s Center is a place…
Where children…
- are heard and respected as a valuable part of our community
- play and explore at their own pace
- are agents in their own learning and challenged to grow in different ways
- gain life-long skills and the confidence to use them
- feel important, accepted, and loved for who they are
Where families…
- are engaged collaborators in the child’s experience
- support the value of quality early childhood education
- are valued participants of the community who share the essence of our Jewish values
- feel that they are respected in their individual beliefs and perspectives
- are committed partners
Where educators…
- are committed professionals who value the work they do
- are reflective, life-long learners with a growth mindset
- are compensated and supported to remain strong in mind, body and spirit
- make learning visible and are mindful of the mission of Shalom Children’s Center
- create a loving atmosphere and environment for learning
- feel a responsibility to support families and children
