The newly renovated K’tanim Nursery School at Temple Beth Sholom serves children two through five years of age.  The preschool has been licensed by the State of Connecticut since January, 2000.  The preschool received NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) accreditation in March, 2005. K’tanim also runs a weekly Parent/Child Program for parents and/or caregivers and young toddlers ages 14 months to two years.

 

Our nationally accredited Early Childhood Program is a child-centered preschool that encourages children’s social, emotional, intellectual and physical development within a caring Jewish community.  The K’tanim program’s developmental approach to learning provides direct hands-on educational experience geared to meet the individual needs and interests of each child.  

Both indoors and out, through a variety of play and educational experiences, our goal is to encourage individual growth, while enhancing self-esteem and developing happy, healthy children.  We seek to help children develop as responsible members of a group respecting all people and their differences.
