Temple Emanuel Noar School of Great Neck

At NOAR we think that our job is about as important as any can be.

Certainly nothing can matter more than a child’s first experiences away from home.

NOAR was founded in 1968 because of the growing need in our community for a bi-cultural school in the Reform Jewish tradition. Our program carefully balances an enriched nursery school curriculum with Jewish culture. The celebration of Shabbat is seamlessly woven into the child’s week along with the Jewish festivals and holidays that occur throughout the year.

We begin with “Mommy & Me” a stimulation program designed for children twelve to twenty-four months old that combines “gym” play songs and art projects and is led by an experienced and professionally-trained instructor. Our program for two three four and five-year-olds is no less ambitious. It presents opportunities for children to participate in artistic intellectual and social activities. They learn to share to have respect for each other (and themselves) and to feel comfortable not only as individuals but as members of a group.

For many NOAR serves as an introduction to life at Temple Emanuel. We take seriously the role that we play and are proud to be part of a tradition of caring and sharing.
