We have several different classes:

•    2/day/week, 3/day/week and/or 4/day/week 2-Year-Old Class
•    3/day/week 3-Year-Old Class (optional 4th day)
•    4/day/week 4-Year-Old Class
•    5/day/week Pre-K Class

The 4-Year-Old and the Pre-K Classes begin at 9:30 am and go until 1:30 p.m, with Lunch Bunch included in their day.  The 2-Year-Old and the 3-Year-Old Classes can add Lunch Bunch daily, for a nominal fee.  We have Enrichment Classes anywhere from one to three days a week after school.

Tours of our program are available any day during the week. Just give me a call; I would love to show you our fun-tastic program, from our classrooms and our gross motor room to our playground, and answer any of your questions.

We’d love for you to join us at our monthly Schmooze and Schmears. At our Schmooze and Schmear we eat (bagels, cream cheese, whitefish salad, etc.), we drink (coffee, tea, juice) and we chat (with other parents, and with special guests, such as Ivy Weitzner from Jewish Social Services.) Our Schmooze and Schmears are always on a Wednesday and a Thursday of each month. Call me for the dates they will be held the month/months you’re interested in joining us, or check out the Preschool Calendar on this website.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Why Adat Reyim Preschool?

The Adat Reyim Preschool provides children with an environment in which each child is allowed and encouraged to develop as a unique person. Our program focuses on a wide range of developmentally appropriate learning experiences including art, dramatic play, books, music, science, stories, body movement, storytelling, cooking, field trips, and outdoor activities. The children participate in a relaxed but structured environment with an emphasis on a positive self-image and caring for others. Small classes and excellent student-teacher ratios help us provide individualized attention.

Being a Jewish Preschool, we seek to reflect Jewish values in all our activities. We provide opportunities for the child to experience the richness and joy of Jewish observance and celebration. This includes the blessings before eating; Hebrew, Israeli, and other Jewish songs and stories, and a celebration of Jewish culture and holidays. The children especially enjoy their Shabbat rituals each Friday, especially on the many Fridays that the Rabbi joins in our celebration.

A joint effort is important for the success of our Preschool. Although parents are not required to work in the classroom, each family serves on at least one support committee. This keeps parents involved and in touch with the program and provides valuable assistance to the teachers. We Care About You and Your Child…Adat Reyim Provides:

• A fulfilling way to learn about our heritage along with our children.
• Experienced teachers. Small, intimate classes, with excellent student-teacher ratios to assure personal attention.A warm, nuturing environment.
• An open policy on diapers. Potty training should take place according to the child’s schedule -- not the school's.
• A place where Jewish holidays come alive.
• A developmental program allowing children to learn at their own pace.
• A new playground designed by parents and teachers specifically for 2- to 5-year-olds.
