The youngest children in our preschool enjoy a safe, nurturing environment where they explore their introduction to the school environment. Experienced teachers offer a comfortable playscape that helps foster each child’s individual needs of adjustment to the program. Singing songs together, baking cakes in the play kitchen, outdoor exploration and story time are a few of the activities children engage in each day. A lively space where children explore independence through music, movement, pretend play, and structured group activities. Children are not required to be toilet trained to attend our programs; toilet learning is incorporated into the classroom as needed.
Our three-year-old classes develop social, emotional, language, and literary skills while building motor and cognitive development through facilitated peer-to-peer engagement. Painting at an easel, exploring dramatic play with colorful costumes, building cities out of wooden blocks, reading books together, and enjoying music are just some of the ways we learn and explore the world around us in this class. A dynamic setting where children begin to express their identities, develop early literacy and math skills, and engage in art, dramatic play, and cooperative learning. Adult to child ratio 1:7.

Our unique emergent curriculum is grounded in the values and traditions of Jewish scholarship that elevate inquiry (Drash), friendship (Hevruta), and ethical values (Tzedakah). Here, young children are supported with love and respect while they are immersed in a variety of rich experiences designed to facilitate deeper understanding through the children’s own interests and exploration.
Learning begins with curiosity. We encourage children to ask questions, explore materials, and engage in discovery-based learning in a rich, thoughtfully designed environment.
Social connections are at the heart of learning. We foster collaborative play and teamwork, helping children build strong friendships and communication skills.
From an early age, children learn the importance of kindness, respect, and social responsibility, reinforcing their ability to positively impact the world.
