environment that promotes the social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development
of young children. Our child-emergent curriculum encourages experimentation, problem
solving, logical thinking and cooperative learning, as well as the assimilation
of values, development of social skills, and positive self-concept. Children explore,
create and build in an enriched and stimulating learning environment. Yeladim
