Intown Jewish Preschool is a Jewish community school seeking early childhood teachers for children ages 18 months-5 years who are caring, creative and motivated. At IJP educators passionately support young children’s play, exploration, inquiry, and creative/critical thinking. Our teachers work collaboratively to provide the highest quality experience for children and families. We believe that every child deserves to know the power of their own voice and the value of their own ideas, contributing positively to their community and the world at large.
Through our Reggio-inspired curriculum we emphasize collaboration and recognize the gifts that each child brings to our community. Our approach is one that recognizes the whole child and focuses first and foremost on relationships and social and emotional learning and as the necessary foundation for education. Our Jewish values drive the curriculum, environment and school culture. We model and encourage kindness, respect, compassion, confidence and responsibility. At IJP we also practice the principles of Conscious Discipline and incorporate the rituals and techniques into our classrooms on a daily basis.
The adult’s role in children’s journey is to support and facilitate their growth and development. This approach fosters children’s intellectual development as they are encouraged to explore their environment and express themselves through words, movement, drawing, painting, playing and other natural modes of expression.
