About the Provider

Description: Gan Ami Early Childhood Education is more than a daycare, a preschool, or kindergarten – we are a school led by professional educators who encourage our children to explore their natural curiosity and creativity, while providing opportunity for our families to create community.

Our co-constructed curriculum emerges from the interests and ideas of the children in collaboration with the teachers. We strive to provide a happy and relaxed learning situation that emphasizes the process of learning and the pleasure of discovery.

As part of our belief that learning takes place through play and hands-on experiences, children are encouraged to develop creativity and critical thinking skills through a balance of structured activities and interactive play.

Together, our parents and teachers grow and learn about child development, parenting, and Jewish life. Being a part of a diverse community, we build connections that enrich our everyday living and learning.

Additional Information: Initial License Date: 5/18/1998. Open Jan - Dec. 2 stars.
