Jerome and Phyllis<br />

Charney<br />

Early Childhood Development <strong>Program</strong><br />

How Young Children Learn<br />

Much of what children learn and do in<br />

an early childhood program doesn’t come<br />

home in a backpack. Young children<br />

learn best through hands-on and direct<br />

interactive experiences. This type of<br />

learning happens through play and<br />

exploration.<br />

The Jerome and Phyllis Charney Early<br />

Childhood Development <strong>Program</strong> uses the<br />

Creative Curriculum paired with the NYS<br />

Early Learning <strong>Guide</strong>lines, using a Reggio<br />

Emilia inspired approach to learning.<br />

The Reggio Emilia Approach is an<br />

innovative and inspiring approach to<br />

early childhood education which values<br />

the child as strong, capable, resilient and<br />

rich with wonder and knowledge. Every<br />

child brings with them deep curiosity and<br />

potential, and this innate curiosity drives<br />

their interest to understand their world<br />

and their place within it.<br />

Happy Chanukah!<br />

December brings with it Chanukah, the “Festival of Lights,” and our classroom<br />

Chanukah parties that have become a favorite ECDP tradition! Our Chanukah<br />

parties will be held on Thursday, Dec. 19 for rooms 2, 7, 8, A and B. The boys<br />

and girls will be eating potato lakes and jelly doughnuts. Songs will be sung,<br />

dreidels will be spun, candles on the menorah will be lit and stories of brave<br />

Maccabees told. Each child will also receive a specially decorated goodie bag<br />

filled with a dreidel, Chanukah stickers and chocolate gelt to take home.<br />

If your child will not be scheduled to attend our Dec. 19 Chanukah Party, you<br />

may pay for extra time if space is available. Otherwise, parents may bring in<br />

their child and STAY WITH THEM for the duration of the party. NYS licensing<br />

regulations requires a specific student/teacher ratio be maintained at all<br />

times in every classroom. Ratios vary according to age. Thank you for your<br />

understanding and cooperation with this matter.<br />
