Gan Shalom

Gan Shalom, the Beth Shalom early childhood learning center, provides a nurturing, stimulating, and safe environment for children between the ages of 1-5 years. We seek to enhance children's sense of wonder and empathy, develop communication and learning skills, promote positive self-image, and engender trust in peers and caregivers. Following the rhythms of the Jewish calendar, the program immerses children in Jewish culture, songs and language, and fosters their connection with Jewish traditions and values. A high quality learning and development center, Gan Shalom extends itself to young families in the community and supports their parenting in these most crucial years.
