| JCC Preschool Brandon Philosophy & Program |
|
|
|
JCC teachers know how children learn and develop. They create a curriculum and classroom environment that take into account the strengths, interests and needs of all the children. In other words our program is “developmentally appropriate”—it offers experiences, materials and interactions that are safe, healthy, interesting, achievable and also challenging for one to five year olds. Enroll your child in a program that has been called the “gold standard” of early childhood education.

Social development includes cooperating, sharing and interacting with others, making friends and relating positively to children and adults. This also includes learning to sit and listen as part of a group, following rules, and participating in an organized, routined atmosphere. The child also gains independence, as he/she is encouraged to do things on his/her own.
Emotional development relates to maintaining a comfortable separation from parents, a feeling of self esteem and general happiness, and an eagerness to participate in school activities. This includes encouraging the child to verbalize his/her feelings toward others, resolving conflicts on his/her own, and developing initiative in making choices and decisions about what to do and how to do it.
Cognitive development prepares your child for successful school experiences. This includes the development of reading readiness and math skills & social studies and science concepts. This also includes the development of listening skills, and thinking skills such as classification, seriation, temporal relations and spatial relations. Our readiness programs address all areas of growth and development.

Physical development includes gross and fine motion coordination, increase strength and agility, and an appreciation of the importance of good health habits.
Creative development emphasizes the skills that enable a child to develop new ideas and new modes of expression. The child then feels that his/her own ideas are worthwhile and he/she is willing to try new things. This is accomplished through art, dramatic plays, movement, and verbalization.
Jewish Identity is explored through an experiential programming approach to Judaism. Jewish traditions are enriched through holiday and Shabbat activities including song, prayer, arts and crafts, music and cooking.

| Florida Voluntary Pre-K (VPK) |
|

The Brandon preschool offers both the free Florida Voluntary Pre Kindergarten (VPK) Program and a fee based VPK program that includes additional instructional hours. Before and after school care is also available.
The pre kindergarten program at the JCC provides a nurturing environment that challenges children. A print rich environment supports the continual stimulation of emerging literacy skills, pre math and number understanding. Above all, it is a program where children's natural curiosity and desire to make sense of their world are used to motivate them to become involved in learning activities and experiences.
The JCC does a great job of preparing your child for learning. JCC Pre K graduates are consistently high scorers on the Florida Readiness screening given to all children entering kindergarten. Choose the JCC Preschool for your child and help begin the building of a strong foundation for his/her continued educational success.
