Our Philosophy
With the opportunity to experience a “hands-on” approach to life and learning, your child will receive the best in Early Childhood Education. Silverman Preschool is dedicated to providing a comprehensive and nurturing program, with outstanding teachers in a warm, loving environment. While helping each child to discover his or her individuality, we also build an awareness of being part of the larger community. In an atmosphere rich in Jewish heritage and tradition, we offer your child endless opportunities for growth and expression. We welcome you to Silverman Preschool, where the joy of life and learning is celebrated every day! The skills developed under this philosophy will serve your child for a lifetime.
We offer classes for children from infants, up to 5 years old. We have 3, 4, and 5 day options to best suit your needs.
Children do not need to be potty trained to attend our school.
Infant program
Our infant program opened in February, 2015. The program runs from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and we maintain a ratio of 1 teacher to 4 infants. The children range in age from 6 weeks to 2 years old. The teachers plan a variety of activities including arts and crafts, outdoor exploring, music, and special guests. We do our best to ensure that each individual child’s needs are met, and we organize a schedule that works for you and your child. Please inquire for more information.
After School Enrichment:
*These classes are currently on hold until we are able to invite special guests into our facility once again.
After school enrichment programs are offered on a regular basis, such as Capoeira, Dance, Tumbling, Cooking, Art techniques, Perk club (a physical education program), Yoga, Playball, and music. We also offer an extended day option for children ages 3-5, as an alternative to napping. Enrichment programs vary each session.
Meals and Snack:
All children bring their own lunch and snacks daily. Lunches must include dairy items only, eliminating any meat product (chicken, turkey, beef, pork). Fish is permitted (no shellfish), and each classroom has a microwave so that we are able to warm items for lunch. Classroom allergies will be communicated at the start of each school year.
Music, Yoga, and Playball:
*These classes are currently on hold until we are able to invite special guests into our facility once again.
Music is an integral part of the preschool’s curriculum, with a music specialist visiting twice a month. We invite our Yoga specialist every other week, as well as Playball (sports skills for life) for our children ages 2 – Pre-K. Additionally, we welcome special visitors in our infant class to sing songs, play instruments, or do specialized activities with our youngest Preschoolers.
Hebrew and Judaica:
As a Jewish preschool, we hope to teach our children about the Jewish holidays, customs and traditions. We sing songs, learn Hebrew words, and create art. All of our teachers implement curriculum and activities that reflect the Jewish culture and customs, with a special emphasis on holidays, songs, and traditions.
Shabbat and Holiday Programs:
Shabbat and Holiday programs familiarize young children with synagogue life and experiences, helping them develop a warmth and understanding for Jewish home rituals and holiday celebrations. Families are included in special holiday celebrations and performances throughout the year.
