Preschool is a rewarding experience for children and their
parents. It makes an important contribution to each child’s growth
and development through deep respect for the individual child,
emphasis on developing creative thinking, a positive approach to
language development, and promotion of cooperative effort. At the
Hebrew Educational Alliance Preschool we are committed to building
an inclusive and diverse Jewish community of learners.
We invite you to look into our happy, noisy, creative classrooms and
see children at play. We want you to understand the validity of play
and its importance in learning. Children learn through play based
activities that allow them to mimic and define life experiences and
achievements. Parents and teachers working together can create a
rich and stimulating environment for your children.

Hebrew Educational Alliance Preschool Philosophy
Our purpose and prime responsibility is to provide a safe, wholesome
environment where children enjoy socializing and learning. It is
important that children between the ages of 12 months and 5 years
develop a positive self image, which will provide a solid beginning
for further development. Children are involved in enjoyable learning
activities both directed and spontaneous, in groups or individually,
always in a positive atmosphere of encouragement, cooperation,
guidance, and respect.
Program Goals
HEA Preschool’s programs are a result of careful and detailed
planning in accordance with the best available knowledge of child
growth and development. The programs are designed to meet the
individual child’s needs and to promote continuous growth in the
social, emotional, intellectual, physical and creative areas of
development. Our programs emphasize the development of a positive
Jewish identity through experiences involving Shabbat, Jewish
holidays, blessings, culture and values.
Play is the major activity of all young children and the basic
ingredient of their learning. It is the medium for self expression
in the way each child organizes and makes sense of the world. To
play is to invent, hypothesize, test, and discover. It provides the
most permanent and meaningful learning of cognitive concepts. Play
promotes social values. Social sensitivity is not something that is
suddenly achieved. It is a slow process that involves learning how
to share, cooperate, and empathize with others. Through play
experiences the child learns to initiate and sustain relationships
with others, building interpersonal trust and emotional maturity. We
provide a large variety of constructive, dramatic, and creative
materials and experiences.
In pursuit of our goals, the Hebrew Educational Alliance Preschool,
guided by its rabbinic, education staff, and lay leaders, ascribes
to the rabbinic teaching:
“The world is sustained through Torah, Avodah – worship, and
Gemilut Hasadim – acts of living kindness.”
- Pirke Avot 1:2
