Gan Malibu Early Childhood Center
Preschool in Malibu, CA 90265
At Gan Malibu we endeavor to
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 Malibu 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.

Gan Malibu offers a unique program for children ages 2-5 combining the philosophy of Montessori education with the joys of Judaism. Children will receive the beauty and richness of Jewish tradition integrated into their daily routine and curriculum. Daily performances of mitzvoth (good deeds) and midot (act of kindness) take place alongside the learning of shapes and numbers, and exploring the mysteries of the world. While we nurture academic potential, our goal is to spark the “love of learning” in each child.
Your child will be surrounded with warm and caring teachers who will help them to reach their fullest potential. Our stimulating environment is designed for your child to discover the world through his own exploration. A wide variety of experiences including group activities, work centers, free-choice time, one-to-one instruction, outdoor play, creative and perceptual movement, as well as art, cooking, drama, gymnastics, and music are offerEducation While traditionally Montessori based, we have expended the curriculum to include the needs of our children of the millennium.
Every child is individually evaluated and provided with a program encompassing his emotional needs and helping him to achieve his maximum potential. We work very closely with parents knowing that this is such an important time in your child’s life. Gan Malibu provides a safe and positive place for children to begin learning about the world outside the family. Encouragement is constant and plentiful as each child learns to interact with others and effectively express feelings and needs. We take great care in fostering self-esteem. Your child\’s experience here will be rich and full. We welcome families from all walks of life. Our approach to Judaism is best described as fun-filled and joyous.
Children will experience the richness of our Jewish culture through age appropriate activities designed to let them discover the beauty of their heritage.
