Beth El Nursery School

Organization Description

Beth El Nursery School (BENS) we believe children are competent, capable, and eager to learn and make more meaning of the world around them. Jewish values, culture, and Hebrew language are woven into our classroom curriculum. Kavod (honor), chesed (kindness) and kehillah (community) guide children to honor themselves, others, and the world around them. Through an emergent curriculum and nurturing environment, our teachers bring their passion, expertise, and a hands-on learning approach to their students. At BENS, we strive to inspire lifelong learning. We serve children between the age of two and five years of age. We work with children and their families engaging in Jewish and social experiences virtually and outside of the classroom.

Program Information

Students will gain experience working with children in our play-based setting. They will assist classroom teachers in preparing the classroom and outdoor environment, to provide children with materials to engage the mind, body, and spirit. They will develop skills in following the child's lead and extending the play. Students will cultivate relationships with their students and their grown-ups. Students will also develop using reflective practice, documenting and reviewing on their work in the classroom

Health & Safety

We are looking to have students who are pursuing a degree in early childhood education so they must be able to lift more than 40 pounds and be physically active.
