Leo Baeck Temple Early Childhood Center, Los Angeles

If your child is age two or older - he or she may begin attending the ECC. The ECC is a locked and secure facility with an amazing outside space. We have a beautiful new playground built specifically to licensing code that meets the needs of all children at varying developmental levels. Our curriculum values process rather than product. Children choose from a multitude of art materials to express themselves freely and music sessions are enhanced with a keyboard, rhythm instruments, and creative body movement activities. We introduce our Jewish heritage with music, art, food, stories, and dramatic play. On Mondays, we welcome the new week with a child-friendly Havdalah service and every Friday we visit the temple’s sanctuary with family and friends to celebrate Shabbat. Both Jewish and American holidays are enthusiastically observed, with our Chanukah activity day, Thanksgiving feast and Passover Model Seder being some of the major highlights of the school year.
