Info

Lyn Harley, Director The pre-schoolers are happy to return to school after the winter break! It is a new year filled with excitement and new challenges. All of the children are looking forward to our fabulous special events this month including June in January and the Tu B’Shevat Seder. We welcome our newest pre-schoolers, the two year old Bees. They will join Morah Debbie and Morah Gail for their very first pre-school experience, and we know they will have the best time ever! I love new books and so do the children. Every year I order some of the best new children’s books as recommended by the Book Vine Company, which previews hundreds of books and chooses only the best for their catalog. If you want to buy a book for your child, check out the catalog and any book you find will be quality children’s literature. You can also ask me about my recommendations for our favorite new books! The new year brings about the opportunity to register for the 2013-2014 school year. A question often asked by parents who are looking into pre-schools is, “Will my child be challenged academically?” I respond by assuring them that their child will be, but in addition to academics, their child will be provided with a wellrounded education. We understand that it is our job to teach the whole child, and that cognitive skills are just The Pre-School Sharing Hanukkah With Our Special People 13 one part of what a child needs to learn. The first five years of life are a time of enormous growth in linguistic, conceptual, social-emotional, and motor competence. We strive to create an environment in which children learn and develop in all these areas. The best way to understand what makes The Pre- School at Temple Emanuel special is to come and visit. We are happy to give anyone you know who is looking for a pre-school as well as mommy and baby classes, a tour of our beautiful facility and an opportunity to see how wonderful we are. So pass the word that the Pre- School at Temple Emanuel is the “playce” to be! Registration day is Friday, February 1. If you register on that day you will receive one week of mini camp (those play days after school ends and camp begins) for free. Mark it on your calendar and don’t be left out. Register for one of THE BEST pre-schools in all of South Jersey!
The Pre-School As a teacher, towards the end of each month, I am responsible to write my lesson plans for next month. But after all these holidays, I am finding it too easy to procrastinate! Instead, I have been thinking all too often, how time seems to be flying by. When did my toddlers become adults? Weren’t they just in pre-school? Twenty years ago, The Pre-School at Temple Emanuel opened – thanks not only to the many planners and visionaries, but also to everyone who donated the funds to build it. There are a few whose names hang in our halls as a daily reminder to us that we need to always remember to say “thank you.” First to the Brewstein/Grossberg family for honoring their beloved wife and mother in such a wonderful way; the Hymerlings whose love of learning reached into our pre-school, to the Harper family who found a loving way to remember their son and to the Riesenbach family. Twenty years seems to have flown by, and we probably have not said “thank you” enough to all the wonderful teachers who have blessed us over the years. It is because of them that Temple Emanuel has such an incredible reputation. Over the last six years, we have won the “Best of South Jersey Pre-School” once and placed as one of the top Pre-Schools for five years! We are very proud of what we have become. Thanks to the generosity of the Mogell Family and Temple Emanuel Sisterhood, we have a state of the art playground that is enjoyed on a daily basis! But thankfully some things never change. The wonderful mural created by Morah Ellen in 1995 still graces our hallway walls. We do not, and will not, compromise on providing quality programming. We have a committed and active Parent Committee, and most importantly, we love what we do! This year we are forming an Alumnae 20 th Anniversary Club and want everyone who has ever been a part of the preschool to consider joining. It would be a way for you to re-connect and help our pre-school to replace items that are now 20 years old, and it is our way to reach out to you! We would love to welcome you back and invite you to visit and attend some activities. We are asking past and present pre-school families and/or students to donate $18. For the first year, we will provide wooden hands with your names on them so we can create a wall in our pre-school where you can forever leave your handprint in our heart!
