Our Philosophy

Between the ages of two and five, children are learning many basic social skills and attitudes. Each child is unique, and they develop at their own rate. K’Ton Ton provides a developmentally appropriate environment where the child learns while having fun.

Play is one of the most important experiences of childhood. Through play, children develop physically, emotionally, intellectually, and socially. At K’Ton Ton, children learn and play in a warm, respectful environment and have many different activities from which to choose.

Jewish values and traditions are woven naturally through all of our disciplines so that they become both a meaningful and treasured part of each child's experience. Some examples are: respect for others, kindness, being a constructive member of a community, and tzedakah (charity/social justice).
  • We believe that families are the primary teachers of their children. 
  • We believe that children learn best through play. 
  • We believe that children learn through active involvement with their environment. 
  • We believe that children need daily indoor and outdoor unstructured play.
  • We believe that social/emotional readiness is critical to children's success in school and in life and should, therefore, be a main focus of our program. 
  • We believe that the process, not the product, is the lifelong lesson. 
  • We believe that children need encouragement; consistency; clear, positive expectations; and healthy boundaries. 
  • We believe that children are our collaborators: they are competent, curious, inquisitive, unique, and creative.

Our Mission

It is the mission of K’Ton Ton to contribute to the development of children by providing an enriched play experience and guidance in social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development.
Our approach is guided by our recognition and respect for the unique qualities of each child. We recognize that each child has individual needs, interests and passions. We aim to encourage each child’s natural sense of wonder about the world and to promote respect and care for others.
​Each child is a treasured member of our K’Ton Ton preschool family.
