About Garderie Foundation School
A place to shine
Congregation Shaar Hashomayim’s preschool provides traditional Jewish programming in three languages, in the context of a loving and safe haven where children can explore, discover, and create.
Our stellar staff is committed to nurturing the whole child, promoting emotional, social, and intellectual growth. Each child is guided to develop:
-
a strong Jewish identity
-
a positive sense of self
-
pride in his/her accomplishments
-
empathy and respect for others
-
the ability to solve problems independently
We foster a strong partnership with the parents and enable each family to feel part of the larger synagogue community.
