Hello ECE Families,
We've had a such fantastic first week! The children acclimated successfully. There may be tears and apprehension the second and third week, don't be surprised. However, collectively it has been an exceptional start! We appreciate the trust and partnership with our families.
Tuesday is a big day! We have our first Parent Association meeting @9am. There will be a special coffee cart in front of the Mercaz beginning at 8:45am. We expect our parking lot to get full. "Pro Tip" would be to park outside and walk in and/or leave a good cushion of time. We want all families to stay for this meeting. There will be a lot of information being shared. If you are unable to attend, not to worry, we always follow up important information with emails or have it here on this portal.
Most everyone is using those blue lines in the parking lot. It is critical to the safety of your children, yourselves, our security guards and staff. Below is the important reminders regarding safety, Orientation and important dates.
Have fun exploring your kiddos classroom pages.
Shabbat Shalom,
The ECE Team

August/September
Attend RoshHashanah Services with your kiddo on September 23. Talk with your child about what Gemilut Chasadim means and how they can do acts of loving kindness in the year ahead. More on HHD programming can be found at tbhla.org.
Head to your local library or bookstore. Seek out a book that features the theme of kindness and read it as a family.
When someone does something kind in your home, incorporate a little Hebrew into acknowledging their good deed. Use the words Gemilut Chasadim meaning an act of loving kindness.
October
Join us for Sukktoberfest on Friday, October 10. While enjoying the TBH community in the great outdoors, take a moment to soak up the beauty of nature and talk with your kiddos about how it is all of our jobs to practice Tikkun Olam.
Invite a friend or family member over for Sukkot or Shabbat this month. Talk with your little one about ways to be welcoming and embrace Gemilut Chasadim.
When reading at home to your kids you are likely to encounter characters that are very different from each other and maybe even different from your own child. Take a minute to talk about B’tzelem Elohim. Every person is created in the image of God meaning that everyone is unique, special and important.
