At Temple Sinai, our goal is to help every child excel. To accomplish this we are proud to introduce you to our ECEx: Every Child Excels initiative.
Children grow and develop at their own rate. Although some children walk and talk early, others may be delayed in learning certain skills. As early childhood educators, we are often the first to see children struggling to excel in these areas. We spend every waking moment working to ensure that each child receives the unique care, support and encouragement that they need. We also recognize that we, as early childhood educators, are but one part of the developmental team and that we depend on the support of other professionals to ensure that Every Child Excels.
Speech, physical, and occupational therapists can be vital professional members of a child's team. We have always done our best to coordinate and communicate with these professionals. But now, with the creation of ECEx at Gan Sinai, we are bringing all of the professionals dedicated to your child's development together under one roof and as part of one team to ensure that every child has the tools that they need to excel.
We are deeply grateful to the Barnett Family Foundation and the Sam Berman Charitable Foundation for making our Every Child Excels initiative possible.
"Every Child Excels has been a tremendous bonus working with children at Temple Sinai. As the owner of a therapy center where we provide OT and Speech services at a number of private schools all over Miami, one of the biggest obstacles is space and equipment. Thankfully, ECEx provides both and this leads to a therapeutic environment far more conducive to goal achievement with our clients.
I have pushed for a number of my clients to look into this new program because of these advantages. It is a pleasure to work there."
Steven Sanford, The Children's Center for Therapy and Learning

Team
We have identified some of the best therapists in our area to create a team that uses the ECEx space as their home base to provide outstanding care in a safe and convenient location for parents to bring their children. One of the unique features of our ECEx Team is that we work with therapists who are fluent in English, Spanish, and Hebrew to serve our diverse population.
Space
We have dedicated ECEx spaces in our facility for physical, occupational, speech and behavioral therapy sessions.
We have outfitted these spaces with many of the tools needed to support children including: A platform swing, therapy balls, stepping stones, mats and more. These spaces are available to visiting therapists throughout the day.
Screenings
With our therapeutic partners we are proud to offer free speech and occupational therapy screenings for all Gan Sinai children. Following your child’s screening, you will receive a confidential report from the therapists with the results and recommendations for a follow up Evaluation if needed. To schedule a screening please complete the Screening Authorization form in the "Paperwork" section of the Playground app.
Subsidies
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we offer subsidies to families whose children would benefit therapy. Subsidies may be requested for sessions with one of our outstanding ECEx approved therapists held during school hours. We fund $25 per session up to 8 sessions per year.
Each month you will see your approved subsidies applied to your temple account.
