Sheva Center – Learning CommunityWe have recently joined JCC preschools across the nation in embracing and redefining excellence in early childhood education by utilizing Jewish elements and lenses as our framework for daily activities. This has served to reinforce our long standing tradition of a strong Judaic curriculum.

Sheva, which means seven in Hebrew, is a powerful number in Jewish thought and practice. The Sheva framework employs seven core principles of early care and education and as well as using seven Jewish lenses to explore universal values. Our teachers, in partnership with parents weave these values

throughout their day.

One example is the Jewish lens of Tikkun Olam-Repairing the World. We demonstrate and reinforce this with the children in several ways. Children are encouraged to perform mitzvot (commandments) that benefit others and weekly explore the concept of tzedakah – bringing justice to the world. Even our preschoolers can participate in bringing redemption to the world and

understand that they, themselves can affect positive change through small kind acts.

Overview Since 1945, the JCC has served as a hub of Jewish life in San Diego, becoming a cultural, educational and recreational destination, providing a place for meetings and countless projects and programs. Over the years, the JCC has continually evaluated and evolved to meet the changing needs of the community.

GlickmanuGalinson Early Childhood Education ComplexThe Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, JACOBS FAMILY CAMPUS offers a wide range of high quality programs and services for families of young children within the Glickman Galinson Early Childhood Education Complex. Three generations have created and actively participated in our stimulating and enriching programs.

Nierman Preschool (18 months-5 years old)JCC’s Nierman Preschool is a play-based, nurturing environment that utilizes emergent curriculum and focuses on children’s interests and learning needs. Our primary goal is creating community through building trusting relationships with children, teachers and families. Affectionately referred to as “My Happy Place” by the actively engaged parents, each day includes group activities, music, art, and team projects as well as individual, creative exploration. The Preschool celebrates Jewish values, traditions, weekly Shabbat, and holidays. Along with the experienced and qualified faculty in the classrooms, specialists provide Spanish language instruction, gym, music and science to all the children. A School Counselor, Occupational Therapist and Inclusion Director also provide direct support to the families, children and educators. Our teacher to child ratio is 1:6 and 1:5 in the Totalehs class (youngest children) which enable children to receive individualized attention.

Every classroom is an extraordinary learning community that inspires a love of learning and a celebration of Jewish identity. Children between the ages of eighteen months old through five years, old make friends and become the unique individuals they are meant to be. Our goal is to create an environment where each child develops a greater sense of self, a respect for others and a lifelong love of learning. Children are well prepared for kindergarten through school readiness activities.

Preschool Hours: 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.

SPECIAL FEATURESTotalehs One classroom is devoted to our youngest children from ages 18-23 months. This highly solicited program offers individual attention, which promotes the social, physical, emotional and intellectual development of the children.

Spanish Immersion ClassesParents can choose to have their child in a Spanish Immersion classroom. Classes are taught by fully trained, Spanish speaking early childhood educators. Children develop an understanding of the language and are encouraged to express themselves in Spanish.
