IN EVERY ROOM
Two morahs
Our Classrooms
Three age groups, each with its own room, rhythm, and morahs.
AGE 2
Toddlers
First separations, first friendships. Short days, lots of play time, and a predictable routine that helps a two-year-old feel safe.
AGE 3
Nursery
Play with purpose — blocks, sand, dress-up and dough, alongside brachos, parsha, and the first Hebrew letters.
AGE 4
Pre-K
Getting ready for kindergarten: letters and numbers, longer projects, and the independence that comes with being the oldest.
A Day in Our Classroom
Young children settle when they know what comes next. Our day follows the same shape every morning, with room inside it for the things a three-year-old wants to linger over.
The Shape of Our Day
Arrival and free play
Circle time — davening, parsha, calendar and weather
Centers — blocks, art, sand and dramatic play
Breakfast and brachos
Outdoor play at the playground, or the soft gym when the weather keeps us in
Project time
Lunch
Nap and rest for the toddler and nursery rooms
The day’s weekly special
Sing-along and dismissal
— exact times vary from classroom to classroom.
Weekly Specials
Every day of the week has something to look forward to.
Music & Movement
Instruments, dancing and a very happy kind of noise.
Parsha Puppet Show
Morah Tammy brings the week’s parsha to life with a weekly parsha puppet show.
Something Special
A beekeeper before Rosh Hashanah, a petting zoo for Parshas Noach.
Sports
Ball games, races and obstacle courses with Coach Natali.
Shabbat Party
Songs, games and the whole preschool together.
How We Teach
Chinuch through connection — starting at age two.
A Room That Feels Like Home
Two morahs who know every child, a predictable routine, and a soft place to land on hard mornings.
Learning Through Play
Sand, blocks, dough and dress-up are the curriculum at this age. Skills grow out of play, not worksheets.
First Steps in Yiddishkeit
Brachos, parsha stories, Shabbos party and niggunim woven through the week — joyful, never rote.

Bright rooms, a fenced playground, and plenty of space to move.
She cried at drop-off for two weeks. Her morah sat on the floor with her every single morning until she didn’t. That’s the school in one sentence.

Questions Parents Ask
Is my child ready at two?
Most are. We look for readiness to separate, not for toilet training — we work on that together.
What about allergies?
The building is nut-free and we keep individual care plans for every child with a food allergy.
Do you offer half days?
Yes, for the toddler room. Nursery and Pre-1A run the full day.
Is there aftercare?
Late pickup is available until 5:00 for an added fee, with a snack and quiet play.
Come see the room.
Tours are short, informal, and happen while the children are in class — the best way to see whether this is the right first school for yours.
