• oriormior Community Open House Tour Hillel's Early Childhood Center. A s parents gear up for fall preschool enrollment, Hillel Day School of Metro Detroit will introduce its first Early Childhood Center (ECC) at a commu- nity open house 7-9 p.m. Thursday, June 3. Center director Robin Pappas says the Farmington Hills school, 32200 Middlebelt, has combined the best of Hind's core K-8 academic values and tailored them to create a nurturing, interactive preschool curriculum. The Hillel Day School ECC is in cooperation with Oakland County Congregations Shaarey Zedek and Beth Ahm. The creative programming includes half-day and full-day sessions; after- noon enrichment for full-day stu- dents; a comprehensive curriculum tailored to each child's needs; Hebrew learning, holiday celebrations; a Mitzvah Malka Program; a weekly Shabbat program in the Beit Knesset; early and aftercare available daily; SMARTboards in every classroom. There is an affiliate discounted tuition rate for members of a synagogue. Age Appropriate Hebrew "Our new Early Childhood Center reflects the same dedication to stu- dents and the Jewish community as the elementary and middle school, but we've created a really unique environment specifically for 2-, S- and 4-year-old children:' said Pappas. "Our age-appropriate Hebrew pro- gram teaches the language through audio-centric learning, which is per- fect for kids in this age group. "There's a focus on fun while building a strong foundation for higher level learning:' she added. "The early childhood years are the foundation of your child's learning:' said Steve Freedman, head of school at Hillel Day School. "Hillel looks for- ward to being part of that foundation. "We can work together to make sure it's a great experience, and this open house is an excellent opportu- nity to demonstrate many of the ways we plan to do that." The kindergarten tuition fees for the 2010-2011 school year have been substantially reduced, Freedman said.
