SAN DIEGO (Press Release) — San Diego Jewish Academy (SDJA) is offering a weekly New Parent Participation class held every Friday.
“This class is for children ages birth to 18 months,” said Yael Edelstein, Director of SDJA’s Early Childhood Center, “so long as they are accompanied by an adult – whether it be a mommy, daddy, grandparent, or nanny.”
The class, which may be joined any Friday from 9 am to 10:30 am, is taught by one of SDJA’s creative and talented preschool teachers and includes celebrating Shabbat (Sabbath). The class will be held with the rest of the preschool on the preschool playground and will be led by another preschool teacher – and her guitar – and then proceed to one of the classrooms for the remainder of the class.
This free class will consist of reciting the Shabbat blessings, enjoying delicious Shabbat snacks and then having an opportunity to participate in the various “learning centers” set up around the classroom. These centers will consist of puzzles, art projects, manipulative area (play do, sensory activity) and block area. The children will be able to explore the different centers and the class will end with a teacher-led circle time.
For more information about this program, please contact Yael Edelstein, SDJA Early Childhood Center Director, at (858) 704-3815 or e-mail yedelstein@sdja.com.
