Located at at the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Jewish Community Center in Baltimore County, the Park Heights JCC Meyerhoff ECE Center is the nearest Jewish preschool to the downtown area. At the Meyerhoff ECE Center the strengths, needs, and interests of each child are addressed through an integrated, play-based approach to early childhood education that comes from a deep understanding of Developmentally Appropriate Practices. With parents as our partners, every teacher acts as the facilitator of the learning process. The Meyerhoff ECE Center is dedicated to the principles of Derech Eretz – teaching respect for ourselves, each other, and for the world around us. Children are introduced to the Jewish holidays and Jewish values are integrated throughout the program. The Meyerhoff ECE Center offers a flexible 2, 3 or 5 day schedule for two year olds, and either a 3 or 5 day schedule for 3 and 4 year olds. The preschool day is from 9:00 – 3:00 pm with early drop off and late pick up available. Our incredible play-based program also includes: Music,Physical Education, Instructional Swim, Time In: Movement and Meditation for Young Children, Field Trips and a Hot Lunch program.
