315-445-2360 | www.jccsyr.org Jerome and Phyllis Charney Early Childhood Development Program HOW YOUNG CHILDREN LEARN Much of what children learn and do in an early childhood program doesn’t come home in a backpack. Young children learn best through hands-on and direct interactive experiences. This type of learning happens through play and exploration. The Jerome and Phyllis Charney Early Childhood Development Program uses the Creative Curriculum paired with the NYS Early Learning Guidelines, using a Reggio Emilia inspired approach to learning. The Reggio Emilia Approach is an innovative and inspiring approach to early childhood education which values the child as strong, capable, resilient and rich with wonder and knowledge. Every child brings with them deep curiosity and potential, and this innate curiosity drives their interest to understand their world and their place within it. REGGIO-INSPIRED CREATIVE CURRICULUM The Reggio-inspired Creative Curriculum for infants, toddlers and twos There is an emphasis on the following routines and experiences: Routines • Hellos & goodbyes • Diapering & toileting • Eating & mealtimes • Sleeping & naptimes • Getting dressed Experiences • Playing with toys • Enjoying songs & stories • Imitating & pretending • Connecting with music & movement • Creating with art • Tasting & preparing food • Exploring sand & water • Going outdoors The Reggio-inspired Creative Curriculum for preschoolers There is an emphasis on the following experiences and the teachers intentionally tie in math, literacy, social studies and science. • Dramatic play • Blocks • Art • Sensory experiences • Read aloud • Cooking • Music & movement • Outdoors For more information about our curriculum and approaches to learning, please visit the Early Childhood Development Program section on the JCC’s website www.jccsyr.org. 10 JCC of Syracuse | 2017-18 Winter Program Guide
315-445-2360 | www.jccsyr.org Jerome and Phyllis Charney Early Childhood Development Program HAPPY CHANUKAH December brings with it Chanukah, the “Festival of Lights,” and our classroom Chanukah parties that have become a favorite ECDP tradition! Our Chanukah parties will be held on Friday, Dec. 15 for rooms 2, 7, 8, A and B. The boys and girls will be eating potato lakes and jelly doughnuts. Songs will be sung, dreidels will be spun, candles on the menorah will be lit and stories of brave Maccabees told. Each child will also receive a specially decorated goodie bag filled with a dreidel, Chanukah stickers and chocolate gelt to take home. If your child will not be scheduled to attend our Dec. 15 Chanukah Party, you may pay for extra time if space is available. Otherwise, parents may bring in their child and STAY WITH THEM for the duration of the party. NYS licensing regulations requires a specific student/teacher ratio be maintained at all times in every classroom. Ratios vary according to age. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation with this matter. WINTER VACATION CAMP The Early Childhood Development Program will be closed Dec. 26–29 for winter break. There will be a vacation camp offered Dec. 26–29 for our working parents who need extended-day and fullday childcare. The teachers who will be caring for children that week may NOT be your child’s regular teachers. The winter vacation camp is subject to minimum enrollment. The fee is $50 per day. Please look for the registration form in your child’s mailbox. We cannot accept registration forms after Dec. 12 due to staff scheduling. PRESCHOOL BOOK FAIR You’re invited! We look forward to seeing you at our annual Scholastic Preschool Book Fair which will be held Jan. 22–26 from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the JCC’s Early Childhood wing. Our book fair is the perfect way to update your home library at half the cost! Many of our parents love to purchase books for their child’s classroom. To make this easier for you, please look for the specially marked book bins at the checkout which contains the wish list of books for classroom libraries. Your child will be able to place a special sticker inside the book that lets the teacher know who purchased it for the classroom. Please note that purchasing a book from the wish bin is optional and not required. The Early Childhood Development Program greatly appreciates all wish bin books that are purchased.
