Beth El Preschool
Philosophy
The Beth El Preschool offers a warm, child-centered learning environment that encourages each child to explore and experiment through hands-on learning activities. Children progress at their own rate of development in a program that carefully balances consistency and familiarity with challenges and inquiry.
A wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities balance individual and group time. Music, movement, cooking, painting, stories, drama, free play and circle time help create a wide range of options throughout the day.
Tradition
At Beth El Preschool, children experience the beauty and joy of Judaism through an exploration of our holidays, customs, and culture in a creative and nurturing environment. It is our goal to build upon and nourish the spirit and pleasure of Jewish tradition, which begins in the home, while fostering respect for the varied backgrounds and observances of all our preschool families.
