Temple Sha’arey Shalom Preschool is a progressive, play-based program that draws inspiration from Reggio Emilia, Gardner and Bank Street College approaches. We believe that early childhood education should not be “one size fits all.” Our knowledgeable and skilled educators provide our children with the skills to become active learners. Our teachers embrace emergent curriculum based on the interests of our children. Curriculum is carried out through play and project-based learning.

Temple Sha’arey Shalom Preschool strongly believes children are curious and filled with ideas and theories. We embrace families from all backgrounds while cultivating an understanding of and appreciation for Jewish traditions and values. Embracing families and welcoming them into our classroom community is an essential part of our program.

Registration is ongoing.
