Beth Ami Community Nursery School

We are dedicated to high quality, exploration-based, child-centered education built on the philosophies of Reggio Emilia, emergent curriculum, and constructivism. We emphasize the process of discovery because we believe young children learn best when actively engaged in play. We provide an environment where children are free to take risks, to ask questions, and to experiment with materials and ideas. The environment is designed to empower children to develop problem-solving and cooperation skills.

We have four self-contained classroom programs taught by highly educated and skilled teachers.

Our curriculum offers a low student to teacher ratio with regular class times of 9am-1pm (12pm for the 2s class), an option of extended care starting at 7:30 a.m. and ending at 5:30 p.m., as well as after school enrichment programs such as gymnastics, art, and music.

We are a California state licensed facility and conform to California state childcare facility standards and reporting requirements.

We are open to all families and all faiths. Our program stresses Jewish AND universal values with an emphasis on creating a sense of community and caring for the environment.

Potty training is not required for entry.
