Preschool

Early Childhood at Beth Sholom

The Beth Sholom Goldman Preschool has varied options to serve the diverse needs of your family. Children can begin to attend our Infant and Toddler Center at 6 weeks of age. For preschoolers, ages 18 months through kindergarten we offer two different licensed tracks of education. Some parents choose our Developmental Track while others opt for Montessori Education. We provide care as early as 7:00 am late care until 6:30 pm.

Beth Sholom Goldman Preschool is designed to foster social, emotional, cognitive and physical development that invites creativity, curiosity, individuality and social growth. We achieve this through language development activities, fine, and gross motor play, indoor and outdoor recreation, creative movement and music. These programs also enable children explore the world of computers. We emphasize Jewish identity through Hebrew learning, holiday celebrations, Shabbat programs, music and our unique Mitzvah Malkah curriculum.

Our warm, loving staff is integral to the success of our program. They are skilled professionals who offer children affection, compassion and guidance. The intimacy of our preschool allows parents and teachers to work together in the best interest of each individual child.

Free synagogue membership is offered to our full-time Preschool families.

Beth Sholom offers both a traditional developmental program and a montessori program.

Unity
By Ray A. Lingenfelter

I dreamed I stood in a studio
And watched two sculptors there,
The clay they used was a young child's mind
And they fashioned it with care.

One was a teacher:
The tools she used were books and music and art;
One was a parent:
With a guiding hand and a gentle loving heart.

And when at last their work was done.
They were proud of what they had wrought.
For the things they had working into the child
Could never be sold or bought!

And each agreed she would have failed
If she had worked alone,
For behind the parent stood the school
And behind the teacher stood the home.
