Gan Israel Preschool

The objectives of a good program is to create a warm, healthy and happy environment where small children can grow and develop emotionally and cognitively as well as physically.

At Gan Israel Preschool we strive to do this in a most professional and caring manner. Additionally, we endeavour to impart a love and flair for the beauty of our religion and culture, as well as nurture and develop faith and trust in G-d. We hope to inculcate a love for Israel, all things Jewish and an involvement in the performance of the Mitzvot (precepts) of the Torah. Ivrit – Hebrew language is used in both formal and informal instruction and becomes a part of the daily routine, as well as holiday fun and games.

In early childhood, the seeds of learning, Jewish identity, curiosity and caring are planted. Our program spans a period of intense personal, social and academic growth. Young children develop at different paces. Our teachers are sensitive to the wide range of abilities and developmental levels within this age group. They offer creative activities that fit into the broad developmental continuum represented by the students.

The classroom has teachers who guide the children and promote active learning, problem-solving, discovery of friendship and exploration of their new, expanded learning world. The classroom is a community in which Jewish values are modeled and reinforced and Hebrew language is introduced through songs, games, and simple conversation. The curriculum combines structured and unstructured activities that encourage young children’s most important work-creative play. Every day is filled with art, music, stories, language, Jewish living, and hands-on exploration.

Our classroom is all well-outfitted with state-of-the-art preschool furnishings. We have an well designed playground and special outdoor equipment.
