The Torah tells us that every person is created in the Divine Image, B'Tzelem Elohim.
We respect the inherent dignity and autonomy of each child. We value children because of who they are. Each child has something to learn, something to teach, and something to contribute.
Jewish Silicon Valley’s inclusion efforts help every child and their families feel connected, supported, and happy.
APJCC Preschool
Support, Guidance,
& Experience
We recently achieved a major milestone towards this vision through hiring our new Inclusion Specialist: an experienced professional who will support families and children on the special needs journey in and outside of the classroom.
Camp Shalom
"Chaverim" Inclusion
Program
Chaverim means “Friend” in Hebrew, and is the name of our 1:1 camper advocate program. In this program campers are paired with an advocate to facilitate social inclusion and friendship in daily activities, such as swimming, arts and crafts, cooking, field trips, and other camp activities.
