*Encourage your child to make choices, with respect towards him/herself, others and his/her surroundings. This helps develop your child’s self esteem, self-efficacy and belief in him/herself.
*Nourish your childs heart and mind, as we develop cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills, so that your child will be a well-rounded person capable of solving problems and adapting to new situations.
*Educate your child in a creative, supportive, and warm Jewish environment, so that your child will not only learn about life as a Jew, but will learn to love it too!
Gan Israel Preschool seeks to create a stimulating and enriching educational environment for each and every child. The school is devoted to helping children learn socialization skills, building their self-confidence and teaching them the preliminary skills to explore and experience the world independently from their parents. Our goal is to provide children with the early foundation and framework to prepare them for the transition to elementary school. In addition, we seek to ignite a spark in each child to lay claim to his Jewish heritage and commit him or her to a lifetime passion for learning.

The programs of Gan Israel Preschool arise from a common desire for excellence in meeting the needs of children and their families. Our philosophy is one of nurturing, growth and development, relationships and understanding – all in the goal of establishing a love for learning, a fascination with holidays and life cycles events, and a passion for approaching the world in a Jewish way.
Children are treasured for their uniqueness and individuality, and are encouraged in self-expression.
The basic philosophy behind our curriculum is that children learn best by doing. The program activities are therefore designed to help children learn more about the world, their heritage and their values through hands-on activities and active involvement.
While Gan Israel Preschool operates classrooms which are individualized in their goals & objectives, each classroom forms its specific aims within the context of these principles.
We believethat the home is the most important factor in a child’s development. We will always strive to support and complement the family in order to promote healthy development of children and parents.
that loving, trusting, and respecting each child makes that child capable of loving, trusting and respecting others.
that each child should be guided and encouraged to have a positive self-image.
that children need a nurturing, safe and happy environment which promotes their natural curiosity and desire to learn.
that play is the work of children and through it children explore the world around them by using their senses.
that children deserve to have teachers whose values enable them to be excellent role models.
At Gan Israel Preschool we see each child as a unique and precious gift entrusted into our care. This concept is what governs our school’s educational approach. at Gan Israel Preschool, emphasis is placed on the individual child and on encouraging each child’s innate inquisitiveness and thirst for knowledge. Small classes and high student-teacher ratios ensure each child receives individual and caring attention.
