Temple Sholom Selma Maisel Nursery School

With a hands-on, creative curriculum, the Selma Maisel Nursery School program provides rich life experiences in which children learn and grow through individual and group activities, such as storytelling, painting, music and movement, book publishing, Handwriting Without Tears® sensory tables, block building, enrichment programs, and our Discovery Room, where we house live, rescued animals.

All of our teachers are professionally qualified to work with young children and are dedicated to bringing out the best in each child.

The nursery school is a place of community and fun, where families are welcome. Our window-filled classrooms are spaces of natural light, bursting with color. Our walls and displays are print-rich providing exposure to words and labels, songs and poems. As children progress from 2-to-3-to-4 years old their classrooms increase in size and number of students, providing a comfortable adjustment into kindergarten. We take full advantage of the resources available to us at the Temple, including the Social Hall and playground for releasing exuberant energy and the library for quiet "reading" and thought.
