Torah Explorers Summer Program Open House

Temple Beth Torah (2162 Washington Street, Holliston) will be holding an open house on Mon, June 14 and Wed, June 16 from 9:00-10:00 am to allow young families in the community to experience their Torah Explorers summer program. The open house will provide parents and children the opportunity to meet some of the program’s staff, see the facilities, and participate in some of the program’s activities first hand.

Torah Explorers offers one class for 2-3 year olds and one for 4-5 year olds; projects and activities are tailored to the children’s ages and abilities. Both classes will meet 9:00 am to noon on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the months of July and August. The preschool class also has extended day available until 2:00 pm. The program’s flex option allows parents to sign up for just those class days they want, making it easy to work around vacation and other schedules. Spots are still available for almost all class days this summer.

Torah Explorers is structured around a cohesive summer-long theme that is brought to life through songs, stories, games, arts and crafts, Hebrew vocabulary, pretend play and more. The theme for summer of 2010 is “Jews Around the World”. Teachers will take the children on an exploration of 18 countries, allowing them to experience the different foods, Jewish traditions and culture in each. Combined with the learning component are many opportunities for indoor and outdoor play, making new friends, and interacting in a group dynamic. Temple membership is NOT required to participate and all interested families are encouraged to apply.
