Established in 1991, The Early Learning Center is highly regarded and recognized for excellence in the community.  We believe that children learn through play.  Thematic units provide the “conceptual glue” through which we foster curiosity, creativity, learning & reading readiness, problem solving, vocabulary enhancement and understanding of Jewish holidays, customs and values.

With the expertise of early childhood educators, children are guided through age appropriate learning experiences that include language arts, music & movement, cognitive skills, dramatic play, fine & gross motor activities, science and much more.  We expand our learning beyond our school environment by enhancing the curriculum with the Little Rockers Music Program, Mad Science Workshops, pre-k field trips and teaching the children about giving to others. 

We offer flexible, affordable programs for children ages 2½-5.  Our small class sizes and warm, nurturing staff provide the children with a wonderful preschool experience.  Our Mommy & Me program for children 14-30 months helps to introduce children to the nursery school environment. 

The Early Learning Center serves families in the Monmouth and Middlesex county areas including Aberdeen, Matawan, Holmdel, Marlboro, Middletown, Old Bridge, South Amboy and more.  All are welcome.  For additional information, e-mail our Temple Shalom Director Cindy Terebush or call her at 732-566-2961.
