About The Garden Preschool

Where Childhood Is Meant to Bloom

At The Garden Preschool, children are given the freedom to wonder, create, explore, get messy, build friendships, and discover the joy of learning in warm indoor classrooms and engaging outdoor spaces.

The Garden Preschool

Our Philosophy

Every child is a unique and precious gift. We believe children thrive when they feel safe, loved, valued, and free to discover the world around them.

Our Reggio-inspired, play-based approach gives children meaningful opportunities to explore through art, nature, science, literacy, building, dramatic play, movement, and everyday experiences. Children are encouraged to ask questions, test ideas, make discoveries, and develop confidence in their own abilities.

Learning happens throughout our entire preschool. Children move naturally between thoughtfully prepared indoor classrooms and outdoor environments where they can build, dig, create, investigate, move their bodies, and connect with nature.

With small class sizes and attentive teachers, every child can be truly known, supported, and celebrated while growing at their own pace.

What Guides Us

Our classrooms and outdoor spaces are thoughtfully created around the way young children naturally learn: through connection, exploration, movement, imagination, and play.

Learning Through Play

Play is serious learning. Hands-on experiences encourage creativity, problem-solving, communication, independence, and a lifelong curiosity about the world.

Growing as a Whole Child

We nurture social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development together, giving children a strong foundation for school and for life.

Rooted in Kindness

Kindness, respect, compassion, Jewish values, and community are woven naturally into each child's day through meaningful experiences and loving relationships.

“Children flourish when they know they are loved, trusted and capable.”

Meet Our Teachers

Our staff is carefully selected to create a loving, nurturing environment while fostering the children’s cognitive and social growth. All staff members are experienced, well-qualified, and deeply knowledgeable in child development. We model kindness, respect, and compassion in both our words and actions, instilling these values in every child. Positive reinforcement is used to guide children and help them develop a strong self-esteem. Staff members are required to attend staff meetings, professional seminars and conferences on new developments in early childhood education to provide a quality program for the children.
