The kindergarten program at The Nurtury uses a proven approach to build strong foundations for life and learning. As a private, Jewish primary school, The Nurtury integrates Jewish values with a rigorous academic curriculum designed specifically for kindergartners. Our hands-on program emphasizes multisensory projects, STEAM, and other researched-based practices that produce 21st century learners.

Our close-knit community emphasizes family partnerships to ensure each child’s unique academic, social, and emotional needs are met. Our small student-to-teacher ratio provides students a great deal of individual attention, fostering a learning environment that feels physically and emotionally safe. Parents are invited to be highly involved in their kindergartner’s school life.

A Nurturing Environment for Young Learners

Our Kindergarten classroom creates an environment designed to nurture the whole child and help each student reach his or her full potential. Teachers help children grow through:

  • Instilling a lifelong love of learning

  • Creating a classroom community where children feel safe and are able to take risks

  • Encouraging mitzvot and compassion so children have respect – kavod- for fellow students, teachers, and their classroom

  • Building a kindergarten family – mishpacha- where all help each other and take care of each other

  • Feeling the spirit of a nurturing Jewish Community
