Preschool
Our goal at the ATID Preschool is to provide an optimal educational program. In our community, each child is treated as unique and his or her individual development and progress is watched carefully. The children are encouraged to develop self-discipline and show respect for others, as well as for our environment.
The Atid Preschool also promotes the children’s overall development by strengthening their autonomy and self-esteem, in order for them to become committed and proactive individuals within their community, capable of making wise choices and decisions that foster actions which reflect universal values.
The Judaic program in the Preschool incorporates the basic elements of a traditional Jewish education by observing the Jewish calendar, traditions, festivities and values, studying important Biblical stories and characters, as well as developing a bond with the State of Israel.
Learning is intrinsic to children and our goal is to provide a framework that encourages our students to learn in an environment where they feel valued and respected and in which their accomplishments are celebrated.
A safe setting invites children to “act”, it prompts them to “do”. In doing, children learn and discover the world through exploration and social interactions with peers and adults.
From birth, human nature invites us to explore as a way to learn and adapt. Through touch, smell, sight, sound, taste and movement, children develop brain patterns that help them in their future development both, physically and psychologically. When children are exposed to a rich environment that allows and promotes experimentation, they develop a profound and strong sense of self.
The ATID school is incorporated to the SEP program and is certified by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) under the Primary Years Programme. Therefore, since these early stages, we promote basic aspects of the PYP learner profile which include forming students that are: principled, well-balanced, reflective, open minded, inquirers, knowledgeable, caring, communicators, thinkers and risk takers.
Aware of the demanding, ever changing world we live in, and recognizing that English is a language spoken all over our planet, our curriculum is taught in the English language through an immersion program tailored by grade level, with the support of state-of-the art resources and the latest technology.
Parents are a key part in our mission, and with their enthusiasm and help, we aim to form students who demonstrate a lively interest in learning throughout their lives.
