News Flash from CBE President Paul Levine:

It is with great pleasure that we announce the hiring of our new BEECC Director, Judy Fox-Tepper.

Judy comes to us with many years of experience in Early Childhood education. She currently is a lead teacher at the Har Shalom Early Childhood Education Center in Potomac, MD. Judy is also the Pedagogic Coordinator at Har Shalom, offering in-services and training to teaching staff regarding current trends in Early Childhood Education. Judy has also been a camp director for ten years and a workshop facilitator/speaker at various Early Childhood Education conferences, including the Partnership for Jewish Life and Learning (PJLL) and the Baltimore Board of Jewish Education.

We are very excited to have Judy join our BEECC and CBE families, and we hope to make her transition as smooth as possible. Judy's official start date is August 1st, 2009, but she has indicated the desire to ease into her position prior to then, and acquaint herself with our school. Please take some time in the fall to introduce yourselves and welcome Judy to our community!

 

Beth Emeth Early Childhood Center (BEECC), a Jewish preschool established in 1990, offers the nurturing environment that you want for your child.  It provides the atmosphere, the facilities, and the professionalism that give your child a good foundation in secular and Jewish education.

Students attending our preschool come from many parts of Northern Virginia, including Herndon, Reston, Fairfax, Chantilly, Centreville, Ashburn, Manassas, Great Falls, Oakton, Vienna, Gainesville, and Alexandria.

 

BEECC offers small classes in a stimulating and loving environment.  Our program fosters the natural curiosity of each child, while challenging his or her intellectual, physical, and social abilities.  Guided by a caring, professional staff, BEECC inspires your children to have positive feelings about themselves and others, as well as interest in their heritage. 

The curriculum meets the developmental needs of the individual child.  It provides a wide range of experiences, including the use of art materials, music appreciation, movement and dance, story telling, cooking, and discovery in nature and science.  Jewish customs, traditions, and the Hebrew language are also introduced to the pre-schoolers at BEECC.

 

BEECC Picks Apples

Jewish holidays are celebrated with programs and activities that encourage family participation. The children also have an active role in two Shabbat Family Services each year. Torah for Tots, a monthly Shabbat morning program, enhances the children's introduction to Shabbat and other holidays through songs, dances, stories, discussions, and food.

 

Enrollment is open to all children ages 2 1/2 to 5 years old, regardless of ethnic, cultural, or religious background.  Classes are grouped by age, and all classes meet from 9:15 am-1:15 pm.  Optional after-school enrichment classes are also offered.

For children not quite old enough to enter preschool, the Budding BEECCers class offers a shorter BEECC day, for toddlers and moms. Children who will be two years old between July 1 and December 31 are eligible to enroll.
