Nourishing

Jewish Minds

Our Philosophy

We create experiences that promote curiosity, stimulate a love of learning, and advocate a sense of freedom in exploring and playing together without limitations. Our ECC offers a warm atmosphere that celebrates being Jewish; what fun we have as we taste and make holiday foods, and sing Hebrew songs together.

Come see our school in action! Contact Us or call ECC Director, Stacy Kesner, M.A., at 310.276.9776 or Stacy@tebh.org

About /
Philosophy

Our nationally-recognized and award-winning Early Childhood Center (ECC) values kindness (hesed), friendship (haverut), helping others (tzedakah), and taking care of the world (tikkun olam). These Jewish values infuse our play, learning, and storytelling.

It is a place where every child’s creativity is nurtured, and where structured activities are balanced with the freedom to explore. Our children are challenged and learn responsibility by teachers who love creating fun-filled moments and new adventures.
