Description: Begun in 1956, Congregation Anshei Israel’s Preschool/Kindergarten and its teachers are the recipients of numerous education awards. The school has twice received the "Solomon Schechter Award for Excellence" from the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and two teachers have been selected as "Educator of the Year" from the Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona. As of 2011, Lynne Falkow-Strauss, our Preschool/Kindergarten Director, has been with the school for 40 years and, with an extremely low turn-over rate, some of our teachers have been with us for more than 20 years! We’re very proud of the relationships built due to the low student-to-teacher ratio. Our programs are designed to enhance the physical, social, emotional and religious growth of children ages six months through six years. In addition to a rich and meaningful age-appropriate Judaic and secular education, we offer programs in music, art, physical education, science enrichment, Spanish, beginning computers, storytime and library.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
