B'nai Shalom of Olney

The mission of the Early Childhood School at BSO is to experience learning through meaningful play. What may appear as 'just play' is constructive work for young children beginning to gather meaning from their environment. Young children learn by manipulating, questioning, creating, observing, exploring, experimenting, interacting, and by using their senses. We provide both formal and informal experiences throughout each day that promotes this type of learning. As a Jewish school, important components of our program include celebrating Shabbat and holidays, teaching Jewish values and customs, and a love for Israel. Children of all backgrounds are welcomed into our school, and we strive to ensure that all families find the ECS to be a comfortable 'second home.'
