She holds a childhood development associate certifi- cate. The early childhood program, run- ning three sessions a week, is open to ages 21 /2 to pre-kindergarten. The cur- riculum will use the child's level of activ- ity as the reference point for learning through doing, allowing the freedom of discovery. Children in the program will be encouraged to develop physical, cogni- tive, social and emotional skills, said the program's directors. The atmosphere is geared toward building self-motivation for learning. Gan Shalom's developmental philoso- phy encourages self-paced, self-motivat- ed learning revolving around art, music and movement, science, imaginative play, early verbal, spatial and mathemati- cal concept formation, as well as gross- and fine-motor activities. Judaism will be incorporated into the program, including basic prayers, songs and Hebrew vocab- ulary. Relationships with the congrega- don's rabbi and cantor will be fos- tered, and parent and family involve- ment will further the child's growth.
