Our Programs
At Sherith Israel Preschool, we spend 2-3 hours of our day outdoors (rain or shine), exploring Lafayette Park and other local neighborhood areas to actively connect with the community. We infuse Jewish values into our daily routines, beginning our day with blessings over food and friendship. In instances of extreme weather, we find shelter within one of the many spaces in the temple house building.
