KTI Early Childhood Program provides a warm, nurturing, child-centered environment for children from toddlers to four years of age. An engaging Parent-Child program is also offered. Each child is encouraged to develop socially, emotionally, intellectually and physically in a way that will build self-esteem, encourage creativity and inspire a love for learning in a school setting. KTI fosters the growth of its youngsters by embracing Jewish, family and community values. KTI emphasizes friendship, kindness, charity and a respect for animals, nature and the environment. KTI’s classes provide opportunities for meaningful play based on a child’s individual needs, interests and abilities. The curriculum is geared toward building a solid foundation for future academic pursuits in a pressure-free atmosphere. Additionally, KTI offers a 7-week summer program designed to meet the needs of young children ages 2-5. KTI maintains a small group size with a high counselor to child ratio. The children enjoy sports, nature, water activites, arts and crafts, and more. All of these activites revolve around an age-appropriate weekly theme.
