General Information: Primary School Kindergarten-2nd grade

The key to Jewish education is starting young. The children begin their journey in the Primary School to become caring and knowledgeable Jews with a solid connection to Temple life. The earlier our children begin this learning process and gain positive experiences associated with Judaism, the more solidly rooted their Jewish identity will be. The Primary School meets from 4:00 to 6:00 PM on Wednesdays and creates an age-appropriate Jewish environment for Kindergarten, First and Second Graders. The children learn and socialize through an integrated program of stories, games, drama, music, art, holiday celebrations and fun prayer services.

The overall program helps to cultivate a strong identity with Jewish traditions and successfully prepares children for later years of involvement with Hebrew School and Youth Programs. The Primary School has many special programs throughout the year to enhance the learning experience, including puppet shows, matzah baking, olive oil press factory and many holiday celebrations. Children of non-members are welcome to participate in the Primary School program.
