Gan Ami Early Childhood Education is a school led
by professional educators that encourages children
to explore their natural curiosity and creativity and
provides opportunities for families to create community. Our co-constructed curriculum emerges from the
interests and ideas of the children in collaboration with
the teachers. We strive to provide a happy and relaxed
learning situation that emphasizes the process of learning
and the pleasure of discovery. As part of our belief that
learning takes place through play and hands-on experiences, children are encouraged to develop creativity and
critical thinking skills through a balance of structured
activities and interactive play. We provide opportunities for our parents and teachers to grow and learn
about child development, parenting and Jewish life.
Being a part of a diverse community, we create connections that enrich our everyday living and learning.
