ABOUT TEMPLE SINAI NURSERY SCHOOL

Temple Sinai Nursery School (TSNS) is a Developmental Early Childhood Program which emphasizes experiential “hands-on” learning. We have achieved accreditation by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and we are a Partnership for Jewish Life & Learning Commended School.  The philosophy of the school is based on the theories of Piaget, Bruner, Vygotsky, Erikson, Gardner, the Bank Street Model, and constructivist education, and is inspired by the practices of the Reggio Emilia Approach.

 

Our school serves children ages 2 years through pre-kindergarten. We see children as competent individuals who flourish in a joyful early childhood setting that encourages freedom of expression, focuses on building strong social-emotional skills, and promotes self-confidence through active hands-on learning.  Our program is imbued with Jewish values that emphasize and promote kindness (g’milut chasadim), doing good deeds (mitzvot) and taking care of our world (tikkun olam).  TSNS enjoys long term relationships with its faculty, a third of whom have master’s degrees or higher in the field. Faculty engage in professional development on an ongoing basis. In addition, consultants in the areas of motor, speech, behavior, health and social work provide guidance to faculty and families on site.  Please follow this link to learn more about TSNS.

 

ABOUT TEMPLE SINAI

Temple Sinai is a Reform congregation in Northwest Washington, DC, that has been part of the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) since its formation in 1951. At Temple Sinai, we aim to make Jewish ritual, Jewish values, Jewish learning, and Jewish community a relevant, meaningful and enriching part of our members’ lives. We believe that synagogue membership should change your life, and we constantly seek new or better ways to help our members live Jewishly.

 

We believe in providing Jewish education that has a meaningful impact on its participants, from early childhood through adult education.  We believe that Temple Sinai should be a vibrant, joyful, and spiritually and intellectually stimulating place.  Like most congregations, we have experienced challenges since the onset of COVID-19.  Nonetheless, we have emerged financially stable; membership numbers remain nearly unchanged and our schools have reopened in person.  While local health regulations for preschools have mandated smaller numbers of students per class this year, we are fully confident that Temple Sinai Nursery School’s established reputation for excellence will regrow enrollment to the full complement as soon as conditions permit.

 

At Temple Sinai, we are grounded in our mission and core values.  Please take a moment to make yourself familiar withour core values and mission statement before submitting your application.
