Aleph is a warm Jewish preschool community where families come from a wide range of backgrounds and levels of observance. Some families are deeply involved in Jewish life, while others are just beginning their journey. All are welcomed with warmth, respect, and a sense of belonging.
We are inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, which means we see children as capable, curious, and full of ideas.
Rather than rushing through worksheets or predetermined projects, we create opportunities for children to investigate, create, question, and discover.
For our 2-year-old program, children do not need to be potty trained. We understand that every child develops at their own pace, and we work closely with families to support this important milestone.
For our 3-year-old program, children are expected to be potty trained before the start of the school year. If your child is in the process of potty training, we’re happy to discuss their readiness and how we can support a successful transition.

We believe that a strong school experience begins with a strong partnership between home and school. Parents are always welcome to visit, and we encourage families to be involved in classroom celebrations, holiday programs, special events, and community gatherings throughout the year.
Each day includes a dedicated rest time, giving children an opportunity to slow down, recharge, and reset. Children who fall asleep are encouraged to rest, while those who are no longer napping are offered quiet activities in a peaceful environment.
The health and safety of every child is our top priority.
We maintain clear and up-to-date information regarding each child’s allergies and dietary needs, and all staff members are informed of any restrictions. Foods that pose a risk to a child are not permitted in the classroom, and we work closely with families to ensure that children can participate safely in all school experiences.
If your child has a specific allergy or dietary concern, we’re always happy to discuss how we can best support their needs.
In Jewish tradition, education begins at home.
We believe that parents are a child’s first teachers, and that the strongest learning happens when home and school work together. By building meaningful relationships with families and maintaining open communication, we create a shared foundation for each child’s growth, learning, and connection to Jewish life.
