Pre-school

The seeds of Jewish identity are planted in early childhood.  Shaare Shamayim's captivating programs in a nurturing environment offer families with young children 18 months to 6 years old the chance to connect and form communities that experience the joy and richness of being Jewish.  They also begin to create a family's lifelong relationship with Judaism.

Our school is equipped with classrooms having age-appropriate toys, materials, and facilities such as a toddler playroom, large indoor bike room, and beautiful fenced outdoor playground.

Our Philosophy

The hallmark of our pre-school and kindergarten classes is meeting the individual child at his or her physical, emotional, intellectual, and social stage of development.  We encourage one's natural sense of curiosity and love of learning to further the child's development.

Our programs are developmentally-appropriate, expose children to new experiences, encourage socialization as well as independence, share the joy of Shabbat and learning, and foster strong Jewish values.

We actively invite parental involvement and participation.
