Say hello to a world of experiential learning!
The Hollander Early Childhood Center at Yeshiva of South Shore is the place where a love of Torah and an enthusiasm for learning begins.
We are staffed by a team of warm and experienced Morahs and a dedicated Rebbe, who encourage a relaxed and nurturing “learning through play” atmosphere.
Our boys actively learn about parsha, chagim and middos tovos as we bring the lessons to life and instill in them the basic foundations of Yiddishkeit.
Our children are building foundational skills in math, reading, science, social studies and writing. And they are doing all this through fun and creative hands-on activities.
During this process, our Morahs are listening to our children, talking to them, building their self-esteem and of course, caring about them.
We provide individualized attention and are committed to partnering with parents to brainstorm the best way to reach and teach each child.
