Small classes, adults close by

Known well, from the start.

With 11 to 20 children and two or more teachers in each room, children are never waiting to be noticed. Teachers are close enough to see what changes day by day.

They notice who needs a steadier drop-off, who is ready for more words, who wants to help carry the tray, and who is starting to join the group on their own.

Every child gets close attention, every day.

Preschool children sharing a Jewish moment together Lived, not taught

Jewish life is part of the room

Judaism they grow up inside.

Brachot, songs, Shabbat, Hebrew words, and middot are part of the room itself. Children do not watch Jewish life from the outside.

They grow up inside it, in ways that feel natural and joyful long before they can explain them.

Judaism is not a subject here. It is how we live.

Teacher reading with preschool children Seen at home

The difference shows up at home

Growth you can see at home.

Parents tell us they notice steadier drop-offs, more language, and children doing more on their own, without being pushed before they are ready.

That is what happens when the day is built around knowing each child well and meeting them exactly where they are.

Families see the growth at home.

The rooms

Four rooms. Four rhythms.

Daisies through Butterflies. Children are grouped by age, and each room has its own pace, expectations, and kind of support.

18 months to 2

Daisies

First school rhythms, warm routines, and teachers close by.

Turning 3

Sunflowers

Language growing fast, play getting bigger, and plenty of repetition.

Turning 4

Caterpillars

Longer projects, stronger friendships, and more independence.

Turning 5 / PreK

Butterflies

PreK confidence, school readiness, and the closeness preschoolers still need.

Hours: Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to 3:15 PM. Friday, 8:30 AM to 1:45 PM.

Real rooms, real teachers, real days.
