JOIN US FOR OUR ECC OPEN HOUSE
At Temple Shalom Early Childhood Center, children experience the joy of childhood through long stretches of uninterrupted play, outdoor exploration, thoughtfully designed learning spaces, and meaningful relationships with caring educators who truly know and nurture each child. Rooted in Jewish values and welcoming families of all backgrounds, our program fosters curiosity, confidence, creativity, and a deep sense of belonging.
Opening in August 2026, our beautifully renovated Early Childhood Center will serve infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in a vibrant, nurturing community where learning feels natural and every child is celebrated.
Enrollment is now open for the 2026-2027 school year.
Join us at one of our Open Houses this June and July to discover what makes Temple Shalom ECC such a special place to grow, learn, and thrive.

Every gift to the Temple Shalom Endowment Fund begins with a story.
Some are rooted in gratitude – for friendships, for meaningful moments, for the people who have shaped our community. Some are acts of remembrance – honoring loved ones and the legacy they leave behind. And some come from a deep belief in the future – a commitment to ensuring that Temple Shalom continues to grow, thrive, and be here for generations to come.
In this first “Why We Give” story, members of our community share, in their own words, what inspired them to give. We invite you to read and connect with the stories of Robyn Carafiol and Dennis & Julie Eichelbaum – just a few of the many individuals helping shape the future of Temple Shalom.
