Our Mission
“Our schools must do what non-religious schools have failed to accomplish; to convey to the student a sense for the marvel and mystery of being alive, a sense of indebtedness as well as a sense of significant being, an awareness of holiness in time, the capacity for celebration, the ability to hold God and humanity in one thought at one time.”
—Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, Idols in the Temples
We welcome people of all faiths, race, sexual orientations, and gender identities.
IKAR’s Early Childhood Center (ECC) was built, in the language of Heschel, around core Jewish values and based upon philosophies inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach.
We aim to nurture in our children, families and staff:
- Gratitude
- Humility
- Social responsibility
- Joyful Judaism
Open to children ages 2-5 years.
We welcome people of all faiths, race, sexual orientations, and gender identities and learners of all abilities.
