Preschoolers learn to take the perspective of others. They also acquire patience for others, as they learn (sometimes the hard way) that their friends didn’t mean to make them angry by knocking down the towers that they had worked so hard to build. Twenty percent of children have disabilities, and the fact is that children with and without disabilities also need to learn how to play together, since they will meet later, in other school settings, in their families, at work, and in the community. The preschool division of Chabad Cheder of Baltimore was in the unique situation of sharing a building with JEWELS (Jewish Education Where Every Learner Succeeds), a school for children with special needs. Cheder and JEWELS were initially completely separate entities that happened to share a building (and also a playground). Chanie Feldman, Preschool Director at Wed, 10 May 2017 12:00:00 EST
