Gan Shalom

Gan Shalom provides a Jewish education for preschool-age children based on a developmental approach to learning. The program is committed to strengthening family life through the transmission of Jewish values and traditions.

Geared for children ages four months through four years, the program includes parent-child classes, a two-and-a-half and three-year-old nursery school and junior kindergarten classes. Extended day programs are available for two to four-year-olds.

Gan Shalom uses a developmental approach in which childrens play activities are viewed as indispensable precursors to the academic activities of elementary school. A child learns through play. Through play, children learn to be part of a group, to share and to become friends. In play, children also feel the freedom to try new ideas, practice skills and imitate adult roles. All other learning is based on this fundamental ability. Therefore, our environment is carefully planned and fosters discovery, learning and exploration.
