Making a Mensch
Young children learn best through active exploration and play. At the Gordon JCC Early Learning Community (ECLC), we are a DHS 3 Star Rated Facility with a Reggio Emilia inspired program, using an emergent curriculum with hands on learning in art, music, science, literacy and math readiness. What seems like great fun to a child is actually a carefully planned approach to help develop the skills to get your child ready for kindergarten. We embrace character-building, joyful and inclusive rituals and celebrations, and a values-based environment through a Jewish lens and believe that creating community means participating with those who are different from oneself. We welcome families of all backgrounds.

JMS is a great affordable private middle school open to all kids in Nashville in grades 7-9. JMS serves the Nashville area with a nurturing educational environment that embraces the Jewish people's love of learning and commitment to repairing the world in which we live. Jewish Middle School’s families have a wide range of beliefs, affiliations, and observances, but share common core values that define our community.
At the Academy, our expert teachers stay true to our most important belief statement: “We are accountable to children.” To this end, we have designed a program that is responsive to the true needs of young children: love, security, strong Jewish values, and a need to play and learn. We take advantage of their sense of curiosity, their love of learning, and their never-ending source of energy. Our natural playscape is one example how we provide a venue for learning, exploring, and growing. At the heart of our program is a project-based curriculum that provides the building blocks for success in literacy, math, science and the arts.
