Ohr Kodesh Early Childhood Center (OKECC) is a preschool engaging children, families, and educators on a journey of learning, inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy. Through our core values we cultivate a caring community where each individual is accepted for their uniqueness, seen as an equal and active partner within the school, and empowered to be a life-long learner alongside our educators.
We have a Reggio Emilia inspired Summer program for children ages 2-5 years. Volunteers are needed to assist educators with daily activities for children, such as art, music, water play, story time, sports and movement, and more. Volunteer hours are from 9am to 1pm
Help teachers and support children throughout the day. This may include setting up and cleaning up activities, assisting before and after water play, helping with transitions, and supporting camp-wide events. Always follow the teachers’ lead—if you’re unsure, ask. Be kind, calm, and helpful. Phones should stay out of sight.
Please stay actively involved with the children. Sitting off to the side is discouraged. You can read stories, play with children, help during outdoor time, and assist teachers as needed. Weekly assignments will be given on your first day.
We work with children ages 2–5. Interact in age-appropriate ways and help keep children safe at all times. Maintain respectful physical boundaries—do not pick up children, carry them, or have them sit on your lap. You will never be asked to change diapers or clothes.
Camp runs 9:00 AM–1:00 PM. Please arrive by 9:00 AM for a brief meeting.
Location: 8300 Meadowbrook Lane, Chevy Chase. Enter through the main entrance and go to the library.
Dress for indoor and outdoor activities. Clothes may get wet or dirty. Wear sunscreen. Bring sandals for water play.
You may eat with the children from 12:00–1:00 PM. Bring nut-free, vegetarian or pescatarian food (fish okay; no shellfish). Bring a water bottle.
