The relationship between our youth and their synagogue begins early in their lives, in the Har Shalom Nursery School, which offers an enriched Jewish-oriented program for two, three, and four year olds. Small classes are maintained, and maximum enrollment is limited to thirteen children in the two year old class and sixteen children in all other programs. Along with our regular program, we offer morning and afternoon enrichment programs as well as a daily lunch program. The curriculum is planned to broaden the scope and capabilities of each child in the school. A careful balance of educational and developmentally appropriate activities is designed to fit the needs and abilities of the young child.
Emphasis is placed on familiarizing the children with Jewish customs and holidays.
Shabbat is observed in all classes with songs, dances, and blessings, which are meaningfully presented. The Nursery School's primary goal is to stimulate a positive Jewish identification from the earliest years. The Har Shalom Nursery School is accredited by the Maryland State Department of Education and is affiliated with the Board of Jewish Education of Greater Washington and the National Association for the Education of Young Children. We would be happy to discuss a program that would be appropriate for your child.
