Rodef Shalom Early Childhood Education Center
Mission & Philosophy
Established and licensed by the state of Colorado in 2001, our preschool is dedicated to whole child development—cognitive, emotional, physical and social. Our small classes support optimal play-based learning and our curriculum is infused with constructivist Reggio Emilia practices of purposeful spaces that provoke children's thinking, learning, sense of family, and community.
Our safe, nurturing, and respectful environment provides each child the opportunity to thrive, grow and have fun while developing a curiosity for and love of learning. As children gain awareness of who they are as individuals and members of a larger community, we teach the language of cooperation, negotiation, and compromise to promote respect across diverse religious and cultural backgrounds.
Program Overview
At Rodef Shalom Preschool we believe that parents are their children’s primary teachers and we strive to partner with parents to enhance and expand the foundations you have established in your homes. One of our primary goals is to meet the diverse needs of each child by paying close attention to their level of development. We believe children are unique individuals who learn and develop at their own pace. By immersing them in a relaxed, loving environment, rich in opportunity for discovery, play and exploration, we are able to foster the growth and competence of the whole child.
We use positive methods of classroom management and establish appropriate limits to enable each child to understand and respect others. Our goal is to nurture children’s social development to help them participate constructively in peer relationships and to teach the language of cooperation, negotiation, and compromise. We also encourage parents to volunteer in classroom activities, special events, fundraising, and as room parents.
