Why Jewish preschool?

 

A child's early years are the most formative.  What a child experiences before age 5 becomes the foundation for thinking patterns, value structures, and ways of viewing the world into adulthood.

 

Jewish preschools partner with families to ensure each child's earliest years are filled with engaging play, exciting discoveries, loving teachers, laughter, and friendship.  Through the richness of 3,000-year-old traditions, rituals, and stories, Jewish preschools help families raise children who have a sense of wonderment and responsibility for the world around them.

 

Yet Jewish preschools aren't just about the children.  Through each child's experience, the whole family is engaged.  They are immersed in the richness and diversity of Judaism.  They are welcomed and supported. Their celebrations are infused with new meaning.  And the friendships created can grow throughout your child's lifetime.

 

Jewish preschools build community. We want you to be part of it.
