Talmud Torah Early Learning Centre

Talmud Torah Early Learning Centre (ELC) is a centre for children ages 12 months through 5 years. ELC is a play-based, inclusive centre with values rooted in Jewish culture.

Our Early Childcare Philosophy

Our ELC play-based program is flexible, stimulating, fun, and strives to meet the needs of the children as individuals and as a group. We address the intellectual and cognitive development, and the emotional, social and physical needs of the children. Throughout the day, children have opportunities for structured group activities, as well as free time to choose from a variety of play centers. Children have physical activity each day, either outside or in the gym dependent on the weather.

The ELC program will also incorporate the use of Hebrew language, celebration of Shabbat and other Jewish holidays, Jewish customs and traditions, learning Jewish songs and dance, as well as weaving into the entire preschool environment a strong and positive identification with Israel. The notion of “Judaism as an integrated part of everyday life” is incorporated into all our programs.
