Overview

​

Next year we are offering two opportunities for elementary school children: Mayim (Grades K-5) and Mayim Tamid (Grades 1-3)

 

Mayim (Grades K-5):

 

Mayim is our elementary learning program (grades K-5) at Temple Beth Shalom. Mayim offers an experiential and project-based learning curriculum. It is a wonderful way for children to experience meaningful Jewish learning as they build relationships in our TBS community. There is rich learning that happens each year, and learning builds from one year to the next.

 

Children attend Mayim once a week and learn in mixed groups: grades K-1 together, grades 2-3 together, and grades 4-5 together. There are typically ten children per group, with two groups at each age level meeting on the same day. 

 

On weekdays, flexible drop-off is available starting at 2:45, and children can hang out, do homework, and have snack in a supervised lounge space. Bus transportation is available from the Needham Public Schools. View the 2016-2017 K-12 Learning Programs Calendar. View K-12 Weekly Schedule for time choices.

​

Mayim Tamid (Grades 1-3):

 

Mayim Tamid ("Mayim Always") is a new multi-day program for children in grades 1-3, which combines the after school care found in many extended day programs with the rich Jewish learning and community building found in Temple Beth Shalom's Mayim program. Each day, children will enjoy playground time, homework time, healthy snack, Hebrew and Jewish learning, and free play.

 

Children may enroll for two, three, four, or five days per week. Mayim Tamid will be open Monday through Friday from 2:45-6:00 pm and will follow the Needham Public Schools calendar for opening day, closing day, and school vacations. Mayim Tamid will open early on NPS early release days and will provide morning programming for NPS delayed openings. Transportation will be provided from all Needham Public Schools at no additional charge. View the 2016-2017 Mayim Tamid Calendar.
