Mission Statement

Gan Chamesh welcomes families from all walks of life to its preschool. The programs of Gan Chamesh arise from a common desire for excellence in meeting the needs of children and their families for nurturing, growth and development, relationships and understanding -  all in the goal of establishing a love for learning, a fascination with holidays and life cycles events, and a passion for approaching the world in a Jewish way.

Children are treasured for their uniqueness and individuality and are encouraged in self-expression.

The basic philosophy behind our curriculum is that children learn  best by doing.  The program activities are therefore designed to help children learn more about the world, their heritage, their values through hands-on activities and active involvement.

While Gan Chamesh operates classrooms which are individualized in their goals & objectives, each classroom forms its specific aims within the context of these principles.

·        that the home is the most important factor in a child’s development.  We will always strive to support and complement the family in order to promote healthy development of children and parents

·        that loving, trusting, and respecting each child makes that child capable of loving, trusting and respecting others

·        that each child should be helped to have a positive self-image

·        that children deserve a nurturing, safe and happy environment which promotes their natural curiosity and desire to learn

·        that Play is the Work of children and through it children explore the world around them by using their senses.

·        that children deserve to have teachers whose values enable them to be excellent role models.
