The children were enrolled in ten state-of-the-art renovated preschool classrooms, which includes a gross motor indoor play area and a dedicated art room. The preschool strives to deepen connections to judaism, the community, ethics & morals, and the world around us. The school employs methods that promote a constructivist pedagogical model whereby the children's interests dictate the subjects through which basic skills like numeracy and literacy are taught. This project-based approach allows the children to dynamically interact with all the organization has to offer, and to create learning opportunities from the environment around them.
