Pre-K Parent/Child Program

We invite you and your four year old(s) to the joys of Jewish celebration and learning at Temple Isaiah Religious School! Our Pre-K parent/child program consists of 6 sessions on Sunday mornings from 9:00-11:10am during the months of February through May.

Participation in our Pre-K program develops your family’s love of our tradition and the joys of being a part of the Isaiah community. By attending this class with your child, you will be planting and nurturing the seeds of Jewish identity and commitment.Your children will be introduced to our Religious School campus and community, and they will look forward to coming to their Jewish neighborhood. Whether you are new to Judaism, have a traditional upbringing or are supporting your partner in the decision to educate your children as Jews, this warm and nurturing program will welcome your perspective and provide opportunities to explore and develop ways to make Jewish life personally meaningful and filled with joy.

The classroom environment is one of discovery and creativity. Creative and expressive arts, storytelling, hands-on activities, song and dance will all be part of the sessions. You and your children will participate in discussions and perhaps be surprised at the deep level of spiritual craving and search for higher meaning that such young children demonstrate.
