About Gan Yeladim Early Childhood Center, Chabad of Stamford

Gan Yeladim Early Childhood Center ("The Gan") is a Jewish, Reggio-inspired preschool committed to excellence in early childhood education. We provide an environment that is emotionally secure and supportive of children, families, and staff. We believe in active, hands-on learning, and our bright, expansive classrooms include a wide variety of authentic, developmentally appropriate materials. As educators we strive to build upon the unique strengths and interests of each child and to help children become independent thinkers by offering meaningful choices, asking open-ended questions, and listening closely with the intent to understand and respond. Our Vision A safe, loving, and inclusive learning community where children, families, and staff feel welcomed, accepted, and supported and where individuals are empowered to contribute their unique experiences, interests, abilities, ideas, and questions. Our Mission To provide our children, families, and staff with a positive, meaningful experience of Jewish values and traditions, with a focus on fostering emotional intelligence, critical thinking, self-understanding, collaboration, giving, and an appreciation of the inner goodness of all people. Core Values at The Gan Value of the Individual: Each of us has unique talents, strengths, and perspectives to contribute to the lives of others. Learning Community: All learning and growth is rooted in caring, responsive relationships and positive, meaningful collaboration among educators, children, and families. Inquiry: We learn how to think and solve problems by asking and considering questions – by listening to and being listened to, by asking and being asked. Intentionality: We make decisions with purpose and understanding. Lifelong Learning: Everybody needs to learn and grow, and everybody learns at his or her level and pace throughout life.
