Who we are: Temple Israel Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC) is a welcoming, loving and nurturing play-based community.  Our progressive program is inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, by the Project Approach and steeped in a deep understanding of child development. As we listen to the children’s ideas, we build our curriculum.  We work collaboratively with our students to create longer term projects and investigations around these ideas - delving deeper into what interests the children in our classrooms. We carefully integrate our goals for each child into our studies, so that every child is nurtured, supported and challenged. We are a community of learners where children, parents and teachers work as partners in joyful experience
