What an extraordinary last couple months we have had here at Kol Rinah ECC. We got to meet our Shinshin from Israel, Evyatar.

We also celebrated our Starfish class as they closed one chapter...Read more...

KRECC is loving this Winter weather. Although the colder days have mostly kept us inside, we have been able to bundle up in our coats, hats, and mittens and go outside some afternoons. One of the days that it snowed, our teachers were able to gather some snow in buckets and bring it inside for the children to look at and touch.
For Tu B'Shevat, classes spent time reading books like Sammy Spider's First Tu B'Shevat and Dear Tree. In classroom...Read more...

What a wonderful September and October we have had here at KRECC. In September, classes spent a lot of time learning about bees and honey, apples, round challah, and sounds of the shofar in preparation for Rosh Hashanah. It was wonderful peeking into the classrooms and seeing children dipping bubble wrap in yellow paint and stamping it on paper to create a honeycomb bee hive effect. In some of the older classes children were seen eating a...Read more...

It has been wonderful being back at school since the middle of June. Classes have spent the summer months learning about farms, camping, the circus, and space.

On August 17, we will welcomed in the...Read more...

When Elyse and I give tours of our center to prospective families, one of the most frequently asked questions is what are you most proud of about your school. We both answer, our KRECC school family!

Through email, pinterest groups, ZOOM meetings, and Facebook, teachers have been able to stay connected...Read more...

KRECC has started off 2020 by making the most of the cold winter days. When the weather isn’t conducive for playing outside, teachers have gone out and collected fallen snow and brought it inside for the children to play with. On the rare occasion when the winter weather turns out to be 60 degrees, you take advantage of it and you take the children outside!
In February, we celebrated Tu Bishvat with activities in our ECC...Read more...
