Temple Sinai Community Preschool is a licensed, non-profit Jewish school
Jewish Philosophy
At Temple Sinai Community Preschool, we offer a caring and engaging learning environment for children ages 10 months to 4 years. Through play-based and inquiry-based learning, we strive to provide a happy and supportive environment for children to learn and gain an understanding of the world around them. Our program is based on promoting positive self-esteem, curiosity and creativity. Our goal is to help develop the child’s social, emotional, intellectual and physical capabilities to the fullest.
Temple Sinai Community Preschool follows a child-directed and an emergent curriculum. The terms child-directed and emergent capture the idea that the types of learning a child is ready to do will emerge when a teacher facilitates an environment where they feel secure, engaged and interested. Instead of a teacher-directed lesson plan, the teacher encourages curiosity, play, exploration, collaboration and creativity by developing content that the children demonstrate interest in.

Our Program Statement
We have developed our program statement based on – “How Does Learning Happen; Ontario’s Pedagogy for the Early Years,” a professional resource guide for those working with young children and their families. Our program statement will be reviewed annually to ensure that it follows the Minister of Education’s guidelines.
At Temple Sinai we recognize that children are competent, capable of complex thinking, curious and rich in potential. Our program is based on promoting positive self-esteem, curiosity, creativity and love of learning. Our goal is to help develop the child’s social, emotional, intellectual and physical capabilities to the fullest.
