Vision

The Efshar Project envisions accessible, high-quality early childhood education that inspires lifelong Jewish connections and thriving Jewish communities.

Our Approach

S School Leaders have opportunities for executive level coaching and leadership support and training in both pedagogical and operational best practices.

H Holistic support is offered for the school and larger community to collaborate on important and time sensitive topics.

A Advocacy and policy efforts ensure that the voices of our 1,000 children, 900 parents, and 250 educators are represented and heard at all levels.

R Resources grounded in Jewish texts, traditions, values, wisdom, and early childhood research ensure all educators, school leaders, and families have what they need related to their topic of interest.
