Aprogram of the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island, the David C. Isenberg Family Early Childhood Center (ECC) provides a safe, welcoming, play-based educational program infused with Judaic values for children ages three months through pre-kindergarten (4 years old by Sept. 1). Students are given opportunities to explore the world independently and with guidance from teachers. We offer a balance of socialization, science, math, literacy, creative arts, social studies, motor skills and more. Kosher vegetarian lunches and snacks are included in tuition. All are welcome regardless of religious and cultural background or physical, social, emotional and cognitive ability. The ECC is licensed by DHS and accredited by BrightStars and National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
