Our Goals
At the Bilowit Learning Center, we endeavor to:
- Nourish your child's heart and mind, as we develop cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills, so that your child will be a well-rounded person capable of solving problems and adapting to new situations
- Encourage your child to make choices, with respect towards towards him/herself. others and his/her surroundings. This helps develop your child's self esteem, self-efficacy and belief in him/herself.
- Educate your child in a creative, supportive and warm Jewish environment, so that your child will not only learn about life as a Jew, but will learn to love it too!
Our Philosophy
The basis of our philosophy is respect for all children beginning at a young age. We demonstrate respect by involving children in basic care-taking activities. Children are encouraged to make choices about interests and are informed about transitions. Children's feelings are valued and validated. Children are encouraged to communicate using words and participate in solutions to problems. In our program, we know each child will gain self-confidence, self-respect and respect for people and the environment.
Staff members are facilitators, helping each child gain self-esteem and confidence. We place high priority on curiosity, creativity, freedom of movement, and communication. A primary goal of our program is to sustain and enhance the play activity of our children. Our art and other activities are open-ended. We ask questions and do not push children to achieve developmental milestones they are not ready for. Our goal is to provide children with the early foundation and framework to prepare them for the transition to the school years and beyond.
