We treasure the time we have with each student as we watch them and guide them on their journey of self-discovery and growth.
In-house registration is open for our current school year and fall 2018-2019 school year. We are happy to say The Chai Center Preschool is growing and the class sizes are limited. We encourage you to register early to reserve your child’s place. Space and days are available on a first come first served basis.
Each week preschool days are filled with an array of activities, such as reading, music, yoga, library and a weekly Shabbat party where the children shape, bake and eat fresh Challah. Additionally, we offer a variety of weekly afterschool enrichment programs such as martial arts, and explorations into different thematic topics such as dinosaurs and outer space.
The Chai Center Preschool prides itself on providing a warm, positive experience giving each child the best introduction to their educational journey.
Our nurturing, patient and experienced teachers provide tools to foster each child’s self-confidence and to facilitate meaningful interactions with their peers. Our respective two-, three- and four-year-old (Pre-K) curricula are designed to build skills and knowledge needed to succeed in school. In addition to learning “life skills” and forging friendships, we work on academic essentials through wonder, exploration and discovery.
Thank you,
Keri Kiernan, Director
