Classrooms

Reggio inspiration is found not only within the general studies curriculum, but also in the Judaic and Hebrew studies. Your child will learn traditions, Jewish values, and Hebrew vocabulary through play-based explorations. Torah stories, holidays, prayers, and weekly Shabbat are explored through role playing, storytelling, art, and music. On Fridays, the children will bake challah to take home and to share during their class Shabbat party. Additionally, children in classrooms Olive through Oak will learn alongside Rabbi Grossbaum learning tefillah and parsha (Torah stories) throughout the week. 

At Giving Tree Early Learning your child will participate in a wide variety of “specials” classes and outdoor activities. Seedlings through Almond aged children begin with gym once a week as well as visits from the Indianapolis Public Library and PJ Library once a month. Children in the Cedar and Oak classrooms also enjoy formal art and music instruction each week and are eligible to participate in our school enrichment programming. All children regardless of age will also become avid gardeners in the Outdoor Classroom, enjoy STEAM based opportunities in our Light Studio and "the Grove," and engage in creative expression in our Art Atelier.

After school enrichment programming varies by semester and is available for children as young as 3 years old. Options may include Jumpbunch, Silly Hearts Yoga, Handwriting Club, Figure of Speech, Dance, Nature Explorers, Tae Kwon Do, Chess, Pottery with Broadripple Mobile Arts and Music.
