The Gan Shalom Parenting Center and Preschool provides a warm, friendly, and nurturing environment for young children through family programs, music, crafts, parent-tot classes, unique curricula, and more. A wide variety of engaging activities invites children, parents and grandparents into the Beth Shalom family to celebrate together the joy of being Jewish.
Gan Shalom Parenting Center and Preschool is proud to continue to bring innovative, fun, creative social and learning activities in a warm and loving environment to children in our community.
We are also proud to announce the establishment of the Acker Family Gan Scholarship Fund, the metro Detroit Jewish community’s first scholarship fund for preschool children. Thanks to the generosity and caring of second-generation Beth Shalom members Caryn and Jerry Acker, assistance is now available to families with preschool children attending or wanting to attend our Gan Shalom Preschool. The application process is informal. Anyone needing confidential assistance should contact either Gan Director Susan Gartenberg or Executive Director Steven Weiss through the synagogue office.
The Parenting Center welcomes families with little ones from newborn to 3 years with events that bring Dora the Explorer, Shrek, and Bob the Builder to our holiday celebrations. Classes such as Music and Movement, Brunch Bunch, and Parent-Tot Shabbat fill learning opportunities with fun.
