At Temple Beth Shalom, our educational community embraces its youngest members through our comprehensive Early Childhood Programs. These programs offer a well-rounded, gentle introduction to formal education, while also promoting an understanding and love of Judaism.

Our state licensed nursery school has classes for two, three and four year olds. Additionally we offer a wide range of enrichment activities; computers, yoga, Jump Bunch, and specialty classes such as art, music, and languages. We also have an extended day lunch program. Activities and celebrations for Shabbat and holidays are introduced, complementing a full program of direct instruction and “learn through play.” The theme-based curriculum places strong emphasis on social skills and school readiness. Our educated and experienced teachers maintain a warm and nurturing classroom environment, and we keep a low student to teacher ratio to ensure the success of all of our children.

Additional early childhood programs include “Mommy and Me” classes for younger children, and a summer camp. Enrollment in all of our programs is open to the children of members and non-members.
