The Gan Shalom 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 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 Lauren Blitz or Executive Director Steven Weiss through the synagogue office.
The Gan Shalom Preschool, for children 24 months to 5 years, celebrates each child and supports their growth through a unique bilingual Hebrew-English curriculum that has become a model for other programs around the country. We also teach Zoophonics (reading readiness), Chicago (hands-on) math, creative art and science exploration, and Israeli dance and music. Our teachers are loving, warm, and professional. We specialize in a small teacher-child ratio.
KinderReady, pre-K curriculum is a specialized curriculum preparing children for the academic and social skills and critical thinking necessary for today’s kindergarten. Children must be eligible for kindergarten in Fall 2011.
The Gan Shalom Preschool is held Monday through Friday, with morning, afternoon, and full-day programs available. Extended and early care are offered from 8-9 AM and 3:30-5:30 PM.
