Special ECC Programming Message

From Donna Becker, ECC Director

ECC PARENT BOOT CAMP PART 1: Led by Michelle Princenthal

An important element in any quality child care program is social-emotional development. There are many ways to promote social-emotional development in children such as playing games, taking turns, singing, and sharing. However, at TAE Jewish values and spiritual identity also play an important role.

I am excited to introduce a new virtual parent boot camp program based on Michelle Princenthal's Values for Every Day Living: Mussar for Children which will be launched February 10th. This program will provide opportunities in school and at home to facilitate spiritual, moral, and ethical growth! With the assistance of a generous grant from the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, TAE will implement a multifaceted plan to bring the best of Jewish values to our children, families, and community.

I look forward to sharing Part 2 of our parent education boot camp program with you in next week's newsletter.

On Sunday, students from our Religious School made greeting cards for a new collaboration between the Religious School and Social Action called “The Greeting Card Project.” These cards will be sent to our Partners who are either ill or just need a little pick-meup.
