Our staff is committed to providing a loving Jewish environment. Our curriculum is based on a thematic approach, with each theme chosen based on the calendar, in order to learn about and celebrate the Jewish and secular holidays. In addition, the children learn the alphabet, colors, numbers, shapes, as well as about the world around them. They enjoy playing, learning and socializing together.
