TBS Preschool
A Joyful Start to Lifelong Learning
Play, community, and discovery with Jewish learning for children ages 2–5 in a warm, inclusive environment.
About Our Program
At Temple Beth Sholom Preschool, we believe that young children learn best through play, exploration, and connection.
Our licensed early childhood program welcomes children ages 2–5 from all backgrounds — Jewish and other traditions — into a safe, nurturing, inclusive space where curiosity, creativity, and kindness thrive.
As an integral part of Temple Beth Sholom, preschool children and families have the unique opportunity to build relationships with other families, celebrate the joyful cycle of the Jewish week and year, and join learning and social action opportunities for families and adults.
Each day, children engage in joyful, hands-on experiences that build confidence, empathy, and independence. Judaism is woven naturally into our days through music, stories, and traditions that teach values like community, gratitude, and Tikkun Olam (repairing the world).
Our classrooms extend outdoors into a large, secure play yard, where children move, imagine, and explore in ways that support healthy physical and social development. At Temple Beth Sholom Preschool, every child is seen, celebrated, and supported as a unique individual.

From The Director
Caring for and educating young children is a sacred responsibility — one we approach with love, respect, and partnership. At Temple Beth Sholom Preschool, we’re proud to provide a space where children grow with confidence, families feel connected, and community values shine through every moment of learning and play.
I invite you to come visit and experience the warmth of our preschool in person.
