History
Ahava has been more than two years in the making. To create a truly excellent school, our professional staff, led by Ahavath Achim Synagogue's Rabbi Laurence Rosenthal, worked diligently to make our dream a reality. When we began to explore all of the curricular options in the world of Early Childhood Education, we quickly fell in love with the method of learning that the Reggio Emilia region of Italy brought to the world. In this philosophy, we found a way of being with children respectfully, of teaching them and guiding their experiences, that echoes the values of the Jewish tradition and that builds a strong foundation for lifelong learning, preparing children for Kindergarten and beyond!
Specialties
Our Mission: At Ahava, we are inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, devoted to providing children with a multi-sensory, child-centered experience for learning and play, which seamlessly combines real-world exploration with Jewish values to help them develop to their highest potential in a diverse and caring community of lifelong learners. Ahava's foundation and future are woven intrinsically into the fabric of the Ahavath Achim Synagogue community.
