It has 5 classrooms, a TV room, library room, a pantry and kitchenette, and a changing room. Beautifully designed in pleasant shades of soft pastel green and salmon, and furnished with child size furniture, the environment is most conducive for its purpose. The principal of the school, Mrs. Simcha Abergel who holds a degree in education from Canada says the idea to start Ganenu was rooted since her arrival in Singapore almost 6 years ago. Preparations to open the school began in early August 1996 with the help of Mrs. Deena Elmakeas who has since then moved to Australia. The school operates from Monday to Friday.
Bus transportation is available for pick up and drop off.
The children are taught lessons on Judaism such as the significance of customs and holidays, the Hebrew language, basic reading and math. There are also music, song, drama, art and crafts and computer classes. One interesting example of an activity which the kids particularly enjoy is the enactment of the Oneg Shabbat every Friday when the children take turns to play act as parents and are taught to make their own bread. Mrs. Abergel directs a team of 7 teachers and assistants who were trained in Israel, Singapore and South Africa . This means providing a warm, happy, safe and caring environment where parents and children are made to feel welcome.
