- Physical movement through games and music. DRESS CODE
Please dress your child appropriately for a day of work and play. Activities may be messy at times. Clothing should be comfortable and easily managed by the child in order to encourage independence and self-help skills. It is strongly suggested that your child wear closed-toe shoes for safety. An extra set of labeled clothing, including socks, should be brought to the classroom at the beginning of the school year. Please change the extra set of clothing according to the season. Lost and Found Lost clothing is brought to the office throughout the year. Please label your child’s clothing so that it may be returned. If you are unable to locate an article of clothing, check the lost and found box at the EC entry door foyer. EDUCARE AND EXTENDED DAY • Educare Activities are offered for the Threes and Pre-Kindergarten children from 12:45-2:00 P.M. or 2:00-3:00 P.M. – depending on release time.

FIELD / CLASS TRIPS During the year, children in the three-year-old and Pre-Kindergarten clusters may participate in a field trip. In order to meet the regulations of the Texas Health and Human Services, our licensing agency, class field trips are taken with parent drivers only and with the written consent of parents. Each child will be in a car seat or booster seat and seat-belted. Parents must leave their child’s car or booster seat for transportation purposes. (Please label your car seat.) The EC does not keep any car/booster seats at the school for emergencies. No child will be transported in the front seat of vehicles with or without an airbag. Every precaution will be taken to ensure the health and safety of the children. Every parent driver must present a copy of their license and proof of insurance. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Limited financial assistance is available for the Pre-Kindergarten cluster. Please contact the Business Office for more information. The EC was awarded the Helen E. Risch Scholarship to assist a family to enroll its children. We thank the Helen E. Risch Scholarship Fund for awarding tuition assistance for children attending Jewish Early Childhood Centers in Dallas. We appreciate the generosity of the Risch family in supporting the needs of deserving families to attend Jewish Early Childhood programs in our city. LIBRARY We encourage you to share the joy of reading with your child. Children (toddlers through PreK) have the opportunity to check out books weekly during their class library time. The EC Library welcomes any donation of gently used books your family has outgrown. Thank you for your support of this very important part of the Early Childhood. Birthday Book Club The Birthday Book Club is an opportunity to celebrate your child’s birthday AND help expand the selection of books available in the Early Childhood Library. Join the Birthday Book Club and a book with a special bookplate bearing your child’s name will be presented to your child during the library time closest to their birthday. June and July birthday books will be presented at the end of the school year.
