Traditional and Montessori Preschool Programs to Fit Your Needs and Your Child

JEWISH MONTESSORI PROGRAM

 

Among the things that make the early childhood program at Beth Sholom Congregation unique, is our Jewish Montessori program. Run by Lucia Pagano, a certified Montessori Directress, our program uniquely brings the philosophy of Maria Montessori to a Jewish context.  We are among only 39 schools in the United States that do so. 

 

Our multi-age classrooms are "team taught" by a certified Montessori teacher and one of our Israeli teachers.  It is a perfect combination if you are interested  in this educational philosophy in a Jewish context.

TRADITIONAL PRESCHOOL PROGRAM

 

Our traditional program offers an exciting preschool experience for your child.  Full of adventure and exploration, our program headed by beloved director, Beth Porter, has been a stellar program for over 35 years, having graduated over 2,000 kids! 

 

Your child can join the fun at any time throughout the year with separate classes for two-year olds, three/four year-olds and pre-kindergarten.  Socialization is a key component with your child being an integral part of the group dynamic.

Our beautiful campus and historic Frank Lloyd Wright sanctuary are among the resources we are fortunate to enjoy.

The programs at Beth Sholom Congregation provide students of diverse backgrounds with a solid foundation of Jewish holidays, rituals and Shabbat. 

 

Unique to our preschool is a curriculum rooted in Jewish values, weekly gym provided by Power Fit Kids and a weekly music class.  

 

We assess the progress of our students on an on-going basis and partner closely with our parents. Our PTO is an integral and enjoyable part of the preschool experience for all our families.
