The Beginning of Belonging

At Erika J Glazer Early Childhood Center, we believe in the power of these early years to shape a child’s love of learning, sense of self, and connection to community.

Rooted in Jewish values and guided by best practices in early childhood education, our program nurtures curiosity, compassion, and confidence from the very beginning.

 

Early Childhood at Wilshire Schools East

Here, every day is filled with discovery, through play, story, movement, and connection. Children are encouraged to wonder, explore, and grow in an environment that’s joyful, respectful, and alive with possibility.

Learning Spaces

Designed with young learners in mind, Glazer ECC indoor and outdoor environments inspire creativity, exploration, and shared experiences. Every space—from classrooms to gardens and beyond—is crafted to support curiosity, sensory play, and developmental milestones.

Inspiring Classrooms

The campus features spacious classrooms filled with natural light and hands-on materials that spark creativity, build essential skills, and encourage collaboration. Natural elements and soft tones create a calm, nurturing atmosphere, while dedicated spaces for art, music, and storytelling invite joyful self-expression.

Spaces with Purpose

Designed with young learners in mind, Glazer ECC indoor and outdoor environments inspire creativity, exploration, and shared experiences. Every space—from classrooms to gardens and beyond—is crafted to support curiosity, sensory play, and developmental milestones.

Play and Peace of Mind

Outdoor areas offer safe, engaging opportunities for movement, imagination, and connection with nature. Safety is a shared priority, with trained personnel, advanced systems, and a culture of care built into daily life. Convenient onsite parking makes every day a little easier for families.

 

Social-Emotional Development

We know that relationships are the heart of learning in the early years. Our educators create strong bonds with children and families, fostering emotional safety and trust as the foundation for growth.

  • Emphasis on emotional literacy, empathy, and peer collaboration
  • Teachers model and support positive communication and problem-solving
  • Daily routines that promote independence, belonging, and resilience
  • Partnership with families to support each child’s individual development

Play, Learning, and Exploration

Play is at the heart of our curriculum. Through hands-on activities, open-ended play, and emergent themes, children develop the critical thinking, language, and motor skills that prepare them for elementary school and beyond.

  • Project-based learning grounded in children’s interests
  • Exposure to early literacy and numeracy in developmentally appropriate ways
  • Judaic content woven into everyday experiences through song, story, and celebration
  • Seasonal and cultural experiences that help children feel part of something larger

Jewish Learning in the Early Years

Jewish values, like kindness, gratitude, and responsibility, are embedded into everyday life at Glazer ECC. Through Shabbat celebrations, holiday rituals, and Hebrew songs, children begin to connect with their heritage in joyful, age-appropriate ways.

  • Weekly Shabbat gatherings and blessings
  • Holiday activities that engage the senses and spirit
  • Storytelling and songs that introduce Jewish traditions
  • Inclusive approach that welcomes all families, backgrounds, and identities
