About the Provider
Early Learning at Beth Sholom Congregation provides an array of infant and toddler care, preschool and kindergarten options that work best for your child and your family. Simply put, our programs offer a loving, stimulating and creative environment where your child will grow cognitively and emotionally. Nurtured by a professional team that includes teachers, assistants, administrators and rabbis, our children enjoy learning in the context of the Jewish calendar, holidays, traditions and more. Each child is recognized for who they are and are constantly encouraged to learn from one another on the playground, in the classroom or even at the water fountain!
Our families are fortunate to have choices as they select an exceptional early education program for their children. Beginning at age 3, a child can enroll in either a traditional program or a Jewish Montessori program.
