School Notes

School Motto: Whoever you are, you're welcome here.

We believe children learn by doing. Academic and emotional development is enhanced when children make their own discoveries. Our teachers help children become independent, self-confident and inquisitive learners, while aiding in their social-emotional, cognitive, language and physical development. We maintain a low child-to-teacher ratio with talented, credentialed instructors who foster self-confidence, independence and self-discipline.

Our programs are designed to help each child:

Develop a positive self-concept and confidence
Inspire curiosity and the ability to inquire and explore
Strengthen verbal expression
Increase self-discipline and independence
Enjoy creative pursuits
Develop trust in others
Learn lifelong cognitive, physical and language skills
Identify positively with Jewish traditions

We offer Preschool, Kindergarten, and Summer Camp. Visit www.slcjcc.org for more information, or call us at 801-581-0097.
