CBE Early Learning Center was lovingly established by a group of educators, parents, and congregants who recognized the need to retain an excellent early care and education program at Congregation Beth Elohim after the JCC of Greater Boston, who had run a preschool in this space for 10 years, did not renew their lease.
In the fall of 2012, a Preschool Advisory Council was formed with a mission of creating a community-oriented preschool where children of all backgrounds could learn, play, and thrive while integrating Jewish values and traditions into a play-based curriculum. The passions of the committee members, who had diverse backgrounds in regular education, special education, law, social work, and other disciplines, were evident as the group worked diligently to create a program of the highest quality.
Since 2013 Congregation Beth Elohim has been proud to offer a preschool of the highest quality with the availability of extended hours to fit the needs of today’s single and dual-income households to the families of Acton, Boxborough, Concord, Maynard, Sudbury, Stow, Westford and other communities.
