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 empha-
sizes 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. As part of a diverse community, we create connections that enrich our everyday living and learning.
