Welcome to the Rady JCC Early Learning Centres, nurturing curiosity, one smile at a time!
The Rady JCC currently operates two early learning centres, the Kaufman Child Care Centre, located at the Asper Jewish Community Campus, and the David & Ruth Asper Early Learning Centre, located at 1710 Grosvenor Avenue.
Both centres operate under the oversight of the Province of Manitoba’s Manitoba Early Learning and Child Care branch, providing a government-funded, $10-a-day childcare option that welcomes families of all backgrounds.
The Rady also operates 2 additional school-age programs, supporting your child before and after the bell. For more information on our school-age programs, click here.
Program Details & Core Elements
Philosophy and Curriculum
We believe that children are capable learners that interact with their environment and peers. That interaction inspires a sense of wonder, exploration, experimentation and discovery. Through play, children develop life skills that provide the basis for further learning and success in their life, including:
• Children as a Constructivist Learners
• Early Childhood Directors as Visionaries
• Early Childhood Educators as Professionals
• Families as Engaged Partners
• Environments as Inspiration for Inquiry
• Discovery CATCH as SH’mirat HaGuf (taking care of our bodies)
• Israel as the Story of the Jewish People

Our program instills a sense of pride and commitment in children with regards to Jewish life. The following values help us to focus on our Jewish identity with a holistic approach:
• Hachnasat Orchim (Welcoming All)
• Kehilla (Community)
• Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World)
• Ruach (Spirit)
• Dor L’Dor (from Generation to Generation)
They were carefully selected with the input of our educators and are aligned with the organization at large.
