Lamorinda Jewish Preschool unites children, teachers, family, and community in a positive and constructive early childhood education experience in Lafayette and the Lamorinda area.
A child is viewed as a seed that we nurture with the utmost care.
Our Jewish values drive the preschool curriculum, environment, and school culture. We model and encourage kindness, respect, compassion, confidence, and responsibility. Judaism teaches that the formative years of early childhood are vitally important. A child is viewed as a seed that we nurture with the utmost care, since every experience helps shape the quality of their future growth and development.
Judaism underscores the uniqueness of every child with the axiom “Chanoch L’naar Al Pi Darko,” teaching us to educate children according to their individual paths. At our Jewish preschool, we recognize that each child has unique needs, interests, and passions. Our children are viewed as collaborators: competent, curious, inquisitive, creative, and capable learners.
Lamorinda Jewish Preschool believes in an experiential and intentional approach to teaching and learning. Our play-based preschool program fosters intellectual, social, and emotional development as children are encouraged to explore their environment and express themselves through words, movement, drawing, painting, imaginative play, and other natural forms of expression. We promote an environment where children develop critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills for a successful and meaningful life.
