One of the ways that BJE's Center for Excellence in Early Childhood and Parent Education advances student learning is through promoting the use of Reggio Emilia methodology, an inquiry-based approach to early education. BJE workshops have focused on application of "Reggio" methodology to Jewish early childhood education.

 

On Sunday, May 22, over 30 early childhood educators from BJE-affiliated schools participated in a Reggio Emilia training program at Adat Ari El's Rose Engel Early Childhood Center, held in cooperation with BJE. "The program was hands-on, inspiring, and purposeful," said preschool teacher Mitra Shammash of Temple Israel of Hollywood Bay-Nimoy Early Childhood Center.
