LOWER SCHOOL (1ST GRADE - 5TH GRADE)AS STUDENTS ARE PREPARED FOR LIFE IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY, THE CRITICAL ROLE THAT GENERAL KNOWLEDGE WILL PLAY IN THEIR LIFE IS RECOGNIZED. AS A RESULT, READING, MATHEMATICS, SCIENCE, LANGUAGE ARTS, SOCIAL STUDIES, HEALTH, USE OF TECHNOLOGY, MUSIC, ART, AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION ARE STRESSED AS ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF A WELL-BALANCED AND COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM OF GENERAL STUDIES. ANALYTICAL REASONING AND CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING ARE EMPHASIZED BEYOND THE MERE ACQUISITION OF BASIC SKILLS.

ECP (PRE-NURSERY, PRE-K, AND KINDERGARTEN)THE EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM AT FUCHS MIZRACHI SCHOOL PROVIDES A SAFE AND NURTURING ENVIRONMENT THAT PROMOTES THE PHYSICAL, SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNG CHILDREN IN A DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE WAY WHILE RESPONDING TO THE NEEDS OF FAMILIES.FACULTY MEMBERS CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT PROVIDES STIMULATING, CHALLENGING MATERIALS AND ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN INTEGRATING AREAS OF SECULAR AND JUDAIC KNOWLEDGE. THE TEACHERS ACT AS GUIDES OR FACILITATORS AS THEY CLOSELY OBSERVE TO SEE WHAT CHILDREN UNDERSTAND; THEY THEN POSE ADDITIONAL CHALLENGES TO ENCOURAGE FURTHER EXPLORATION.TO ATTAIN OUR GOALS, THE EARLY CHILDHOOD CLASSROOMS ARE SET UP IN LEARNING CENTERS: BLOCKS, DRAMATIC PLAY, SCIENCE, MATH, CREATIVE ARTS, AND LANGUAGE ARTS. THROUGHOUT THESE CENTERS, CHILDREN ARE GIVEN MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPLORE MATERIALS AND IDEAS IN A CONTEXT RELEVANT TO THEM THEREBY MAKING THEIR LEARNING MEANINGFUL.ALL EARLY CHILDHOOD CLASSES ARE SUPPLEMENTED BY INSTRUCTION IN THE AREAS OF MUSIC, ART, AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION BY SPECIALISTS IN THESE AREAS. THE EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM IS FULLY LICENSED BY THE STATE OF OHIO DEPARTMENT OF JOB AND FAMILY SERVICES (ODJFS) AND SUPPORTED BY A LICENSED EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM DIRECTOR.
