Our Story
Rabbi Sholom and Dina Ciment moved to Boynton Beach in 1994 with a dream to build a Jewish community and to create a vibrant home for young Jewish families.
Integral to this plan was the need for a nurturing educational space for children in their early years. Plans for an educational center of collaborative learning and growth, staffed by loving, heart-centered Morahs, began to take shape.
And so it began. In 2003 the precious voices of these earnest children began to be heard in the newly constructed Jewish Early Childhood Center of Boynton.With a foundation cast in Judaism’s timeless heritage, guided discovery and exciting achievements were immersed in a practice of Conscious Discipline.
The classrooms and recreation space exuded the wonders of nature. Areas equipped with modern play-grounds fostered complete safety and loving warmth. This priceless foundation in a child’s most formative years was their dream come true. 17 years later, our extraordinary preschool is buzzing with life and love.
The most supportive community of families and educators have developed a synergy that is TRULY one of a kind. The palpable excitement for life and learning is felt the moment you walk in the door.
This is Beit Blumi JECC of today.
