Welcome to Bnai Israel Community Day School.  We have classes for children ages three months old through Pre-K. We offer full and half day programs and three and five day options for you to choose from.  Bnai Israel Community Day School emphasizes successful beginnings.  If children feel good about their earliest school experiences, they more easily establish a pattern of life-long learning.  We offer two twelve-month programs for our youngest students. For children ages three to twelve months and walking , we offer the 'Katom' program. This class is a one to four ratio offering the care, attention and stimulation our young ones need. Those turning two by Sept. 1, can transfer in the fall into our preschool program while those with later birthdays step into our 'Tzhov', or One Year Old class. This class provides activities for those not quite ready to take on preschool but definitely ready to explore more of the world around them as they become more mobile and adventurous.  Both programs focus on language stimulation, gross and fine motor skills, sensory activities as well as socialization in a warm Jewish environment.

Our preschool classes combine a stimulating academic program suited to the developmental needs of young children. Our classrooms are rich with activities that enable the individual child to grow and develop in a stable and nurturing environment. Children learn not only academnic subjects but also  independence, cooperation and tolerance through small group and individual activities. Children are taught academic and socialization skills through play and hands-on learning experiences by a well-trained and caring staff.  The language-rich experience  begins in our infant classroom and moves seamlessly through our Pre-K program.  Art, music and PE are an integral part of each preschooler's day along with an outdoor environmental program that teaches the children about plants, composting and recycling. In addition, we offer yoga,  Musikgarten, Judaics and a multimedia room for all of our students. Our multimedia room houses a school library, open to all classes and a computer lab for our preschool program. Our preschool program is a ten-month program with optional  Winter Break and Summer Camp add-ons.  We provide a low teacher-child ratio in all of our classes for the optimum learning experience.

Lastly, we love our parents and they play a very important role in the development of our learning community through their presence as volunteers and through a wide variety of social and religious events. We encourage parent participation and are excited to have their support.  One of the most unique elements of our school is our commitment to connecting families not only within their child's class but together with other Day School families. We are committed to building a strong Day School community during school hours and beyond. I invite you to come by and take a look for yourself at our school and encourage any questions you might have.

Best wishes,
Debby Kinman-Ford, Day School Director
