About the Program:
The goal of the Early Childhood Program (ECP) is to develop competent, happy, curious children. Teachers do this each day by offering a variety of activities to stimulate children physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially. Activities are both structured and spontaneous. The school provides opportunities that encourage the development of children’s self-esteem and self-control with the use of positive guidance, an appreciation of cultural diversity, and respect for each child’s individuality. The ECP also introduces the children and their families to Jewish holidays and customs and fosters a developmentally appropriate understanding of Jewish culture in the context of a multicultural society.
In the ECP, educators view children as natural learners, not only with individual learning styles, but as partners in the research, construction, and discussion of knowledge. Jewish values emphasize that educators inspire children to question their world and appreciate multiple perspectives. ECP educators accomplish this by fostering an environment rich in discovery and full of emergent curriculum through structured and spontaneous opportunities for play and development. When children are agents of their own learning, they build life-long critical thinking skills and are more deeply invested in the process. Most things that children have learned from infancy forwardare the direct result of their natural curiosity and need to know about the world in which they live. No one has to tell them to touch, look, explore, or develop language; learning is a positive and natural drive in them. Children attain school readiness and academic skills by being a part of such a learning environment.

Wait List & Priority Enrollment Details:
Priority Registration is the process by which currently enrolled students, their siblings, and Shalom Austin employees’ children enroll for the following school year. Regular Registration for the upcoming school year and Summer Camp Gan Kef will occur during the preceding Spring semester. All pertinent information must be 14 completed on-line AND appropriate forms must be physically returned and signed by stated deadlines in oRder to maintain priority status for the subsequent school year. Reminder: Registrations that occur when there are openings during the year, do not ensure children a spot during Summer Camp Gan Kef. These midyear registrations occur based upon a family's position on the ECP waiting list. Parents of currently enrolled students (except infants) who are interested in attending Summer Camp Gan Kef must optionally enroll their children on a first come first served basis.
