About Pre-K at BJC
This program provides the perfect opportunity to introduce your
pre-K child to Judaism and the social/educational setting here
at BJC. The Pre-K program is another benefit of membership at
BJC.
Classes are structured for full parental participation and
engagement. Each class is built around a theme. This year's
themes include Shabbat, the Jewish holiday cycle, symbols, the
Alef-Bet. Each class program is structured in segments of
age-appropriate length that vary the activities and the
activity-level, and transition easily from one to another. A
full range of activities including music, arts & crafts, dance,
stories and more. Classes meet from 10:30-11:30. Following
class, Pre-K participants stay for Sacred Time and snacks with
Hazzan Schnitzer along with students in grades K-2 from
11:40-12:15 (which coincides with the end of other religious
school classes.) Pre-K students are invited to participate in
other special religious school activities during the year.
