Our Early Childhood Education Program focuses on the social, emotional, academic, physical, and spiritual needs of each child in a warm, stimulating, creative, and loving Jewish environment. Children learn through play and exploration to become independent, self-confident, and excited about learning. We have a variety of wonderful classes for children ranging from three months to four years.
Along with our Rabbi we also offer monthly Tot Shabbat celebrations and fun family programming.
