Our Mishpachot Emanu-El program for Babies introduces our youngest children (0-16 months) to a preschool environment with their parent(s) by their side. Our weekly meetings will be guided by esteemed early childhood educator, Emma Kelly, who will lead intentional discussions about our children, our hopes, and our concerns, share learning opportunities, and answer any questions you have about your child’s development.  

Each session will include nosh, music with renowned Jonathan Bayer, and ample time for children and parents to connect and explore. Our goal is to make lasting connections, build a sense of community and allow the space for our children to explore and play. 

Kesher (Connection) will be all about building a sense of connection with fellow parents. Not only are connections foundational to Jewish life as adults, but social connections serve as conduits of healthy development even in infancy. In the earliest weeks and months of life, supportive social connections set the stage for healthy social, emotional, and physical development. We are in this together! Make lasting connections and support your child’s development.
