Early Childhood Education

Young children represent a unique segment of society. Relationships and experiences during early childhood years have a crucial impact on later growth and development. At the Michele Block - Gan Yeladim (Hebrew for “Garden of Children”) Preschool we understand our vital role in the development of our students. We structure our school environment so that all students and their families experience an improvement in their quality of life. 

Through our developmentally based curriculum, we strive for each child to progress cognitively, socially, emotionally and physically developing all of their five senses. We offer enriching classes on campus such as music, foreign language, PE, swimming, art and cooking classes. Children who need tutoring in speech, pro-social skills or computer, are provided those services during school through our relationship with the Hope Haven Children’s Clinic and Family Center. 

Mommy & Me and more! programs are structured to educate and give parents insight into their child’s development. Achieving educational excellence is a top goal for us. We deliver a range of early learning opportunities that stimulate brain development and life-long learning.
