Our staff teaches a developmentally appropriate curriculum through the intrests of the children. Activities that promote a growing awareness of the child's world are provided. Jewish education is integrated into everyday programming which helps develop a strong sense of self-esteem in a diverse and multicultural society. Enriching programming includes art, music, movement, science and foreign language, as well as visits from the Rabbi, Hazzan, Doctors, Musicians, Firefighters, Police Officers, Librarians and much more.

Jewish education
Our children experience and learn much about Shabbat and the Jewish Holidays through the senses and related experiences. They become familiar with blessings and prayers. They are exposed to Mitzvot and the role we play in making the world a better place for all. Our children become comfortable with synagogue and sanctuary and familiar with the clergy, educators and staff who work in the building. We are a Kosher facility.

Shabbat
The children participate in our weekly all school Shabbat gatherings. They enjoy singing and hearing stories but especially they enjoy reciting the lessings and devouring the Challah bread and grape juice. Hazzan Joanna Dulkin makes Shabbat come alive with her magical guitar, lovely voice and array of kid friendly Shabbat Songs.
