Preschool and Pre-k

Our Preschool and Pre-k programs provide a high quality early childhood education experience to families throughout the Sacramento region.  We offer developmentally appropriate curriculum, a highly qualified and well trained staff, and a safe and stimulating environment that prioritizes family engagement and communication.

Preschool

Our Preschool program is designed for children aged 2 to 3+ years. The 2-year-old classes (Parparim, Chaverim, and Dagim) maintain a 1:6 teacher-to-child ratio. The 2.5 to 3-year-old class (Gesher) maintains a 1:8 teacher-to-child ratio and toilet training is not required. Students must by 3 years old by September 1st and toilet trained to enter our 3 to 4-year-old classes (Yonim and Dubim) which maintain a 1:12 teacher-to-child ratio. 

Preschool operates on an academic calendar from August to June. Parents can choose between a 5-day half-day program (9:00 am - 12:30 pm) or a 5-day full-day program (7:30 am - 6:00 pm). The half-day program also offers early morning care from 7:30 am to 9:00 am for an additional fee.
