Why Temple Sinai

What Makes Us Special?

When you walk through our doors, you feel that Temple Sinai is the right place for both your child and your family. The sounds of laughter mingle with the smells of challah baking and the sight of children supporting one another in their learning. The Temple Sinai Early Childhood Center (ECC) applies a developmentally appropriate curriculum that allows every child to develop and flourish – cognitively, socially, emotionally and spiritually – all while building confidence, self-regulation and independence. For us, success is a result of a sacred partnership between school and home, so we encourage you to take an active role in the school community. Together, we will raise mensches who love learning.
