Welcome to Becker School, a nurturing and innovative early learning environment where your child’s journey of discovery and growth takes center stage. Grounded in the Reggio Emilia philosophy, our curriculum seamlessly blends Jewish values with play-based, emergent learning to create a unique educational experience. At Becker, we believe that every child is a capable learner with their own unique abilities and potential. Our mission is to guide each child’s development intellectually, spiritually, socially, emotionally, and physically in a setting that respects and celebrates individuality.
At Becker, we pride ourselves on maintaining small class sizes to ensure personalized attention and meaningful connections with every child. This intimate setting allows us to cultivate a strong sense of community and belonging, providing a rich environment where children feel safe, valued, and empowered to explore their world.
We recognize children as natural researchers, full of wonder and curiosity. Our Reggio-inspired approach honors each child’s right to an exceptional education by fostering exploration through their senses, encouraging inquiry, and celebrating their interests. The classroom is seen as the “third teacher,” designed to inspire creativity, collaboration, and discovery in a nurturing environment. Our play-based, child-led curriculum integrates Jewish values, emphasizing respect, kindness, and a love of learning.
Nature is a vital part of our curriculum. Our expansive outdoor spaces include a thriving garden with chickens, a playground that encourages imaginative play, and various areas for hands-on exploration. Students delight in the wonders of the natural world, sparking curiosity and fostering a deep connection to their environment.
