Frequently Asked Questions

The Bill and Sid Rubin Preschool is based on the spirit of community where children, parents, and staff feel a strong sense of partnership and belonging. We believe that our children benefit from this strong relationship between family and school. As a Jewish synagogue and preschool, we are a meeting ground for a variety of individuals and families. We welcome all children, regardless of religion, race, or cultural background to experience our exciting, nurturing program which incorporates both Jewish and universal vales such as Tikkun Olam (healing the world), Tzedakah (charity and justice), and equal rights for all. We also believe that children learn best in an environment that promotes active and experiential learning through trial and discovery.

Each of our classrooms provide developmentally appropriate activities throughout the day. Our children have structured and unstructured exploration opportunities in the classrooms and on the playgrounds. Our preschoolers enjoy Havdalah and Shabbat with our Clergy team.
