Located in Great Barrington, The Early Childhood Center (ECC) at Hevreh provides quality childcare and learning for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in an intimate, child-centered environment.
Open to the community at large, the ECC is housed within Hevreh, a Reform Jewish synagogue. Licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care, our full-week program is open to children from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Early childhood experiences provide the foundation for a child’s lifetime. Our play-based, emergent curriculum fosters exploration and cultivates children’s natural curiosity. Academics are integrated into our purposeful play. By providing opportunities for children to grow and to explore, we seek to spark the “I wonder” and “Aha” moments that are so valuable in a child’s development.

The characteristics that help create strong family ties — love, trust, time spent together, communication, appreciation for one another, healthy limits, and more love — are the very same traits we seek to foster within our classroom community. Daily schedules are individualized in our Infant Room to best meet each child’s sleep and nutritional needs. A typical day in our Toddler and Preschool Rooms provides an array of emergent curriculum activities and is structured to include time for Meeting, Choice, Snack, Outdoor Play, Story, Lunch and Quiet Time. Our Preschool curriculum incorporates kindergarten readiness skills within play-based experiences.
In addition to our small group setting, we benefit from our spacious grounds. Hevreh’s “backyard” includes a fenced area for outdoor play as well as plenty of space to accommodate nature walks and outdoor activities.
Registration for School Year 2021-2022 which begins August 30th, is underway. Contact us to learn more about our ECC — empowering children and fostering exploration and growth.
