Experienced Teachers Passionately Providing Individual Attention to Your Child
 
Temple Beth Ami Nursery School’s stellar reputation is due to our exceptional staff: 28 dedicated experts with a passion for helping each child reach his/her potential. Our teachers have worked here for an average of 11 years and they have a profound understanding of early childhood development and effective ways to promote each child’s progress. They carefully tailor activities to promote each child’s intellectual, emotional, social and physical growth.
We adhere to an unusually high ratio of 3 teachers to 12 two year olds, and 3 teachers to 16 three year olds or 17 Pre-K age children. Children are privileged to receive a tremendous amount of individual attention to extend their strengths and meet their needs.
When you visit our school you will witness the joy with which teachers interact with children as children explore their world, extend their skills, express their curiosity, and gain confidence.

We Prepare Children for Success
Local elementary schools tell us our graduates are extraordinarily well-prepared for the rigors of today’s kindergarten classrooms. We help each child advance their language skills to express their curiosity and their opinions, interact effectively with peers and adults, take advantage of learning opportunities, and participate appropriately in a group setting. Through our program, children gain the communication, pre-math and pre-literacy skills, in addition to the social and emotional skills, necessary to excel in elementary school.

We Teach Children Jewish Values
Our school is grounded in the ideals of Reform Judaism. We emphasize the values of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world), Kavod (honoring elders and respecting peers), Hachnassat Orchim (welcoming guests), and Tzedakah (ensuring justice among all). We help our children understand the meaning of treating others kindly, creating a cooperative community, and controlling one’s impulses. Our sages taught that early childhood education provides the foundation for later life, for what is learned in early childhood is engrained firmly in one’s personality. We strive to ensure that the lessons we teach are those that set children on a clear path toward social and academic success.

We Make Learning Fun
Each day includes time to create with blocks, puzzles, dramatic play props, and art mediums to encourage inventiveness and problem-solving skills; group meetings to practice communication and planning skills; large motor activities to develop strength and coordination; snack time to promote independence and socializing; and quiet time to work on pre-literacy skills. Our children get to sing with our own favorite rock star “Cantor Larry” and participate in a weekly Creative Movement Program. They get to play in the ride room and explore the outdoors. Through every activity, children further their knowledge of their surroundings and their role in the world.
Our parents attest to the unique environment in our school, and the genuine joy, love and concern with which each child is greeted every day.
