Author: Garrett Hanrahan Rating: 5/5 Date: 11/6/2023, 3:53:38 PM Review: We enrolled our son at the B'nai Israel school a few months ago when he was not yet a year and a half old. Our experience has been excellent. It is evident that the teachers and staff care deeply for the students and enjoy their vocation. The school is safe & secure. Our son speaks excitedly about attending school and seeing his friends, and we have noticed tremendous strides in his personal development since he enrolled. ----- Author: Hilary Fernandez Rating: 5/5 Date: 11/6/2023, 3:41:37 PM Review: One of the hardest decisions parents make is where to send their children to school. Especially when they’re so young! B’Nai is not just our baby’s school, they’re his extended family. His teachers (Ms. Alisa and Ms. Mykayla) are the most incredible people. They both welcomed him to class with patience, love, and a genuine interest in his growth and well being. The school’s safety protocols are extensive and administrators communicate openly and honestly with parents about how to protect our children. If you’re looking for a loving, stimulating, and safe environment for your toddler, look no more. B’Nai is the best.

Author: Jessica Heft Rating: 5/5 Date: 10/17/2023, 2:29:39 PM Review: We've sent all three of our kids to B'nai. The staff are wonderful, the facility is always clean, and we love their approach to teaching. They focus on learning how to be a good person - be kind, caring, helpful, and honest. The curriculum is well-rounded and appropriately challenging. They have field trips, a Fall Festival, gardens, animals, a huge playground, yoga, soccer, summer camp. Our kids have been more than prepared when they graduated B'nai to go to kindergarten (already starting to read and knowing basic addition and subtraction). Our family is mixed faith and we've always felt included and welcome at B'nai. I recommend this school to everyone!

A wonderful place for early education! We love the teachers and staff, and our daughter is excited to go to school every day.

Our experience at B’nai has been wonderful! We got so lucky with our son’s transition to school with loving arms of Mrs Alisa. She taught him and nurtured his joy. I can’t say enough about the whole staff’s dedication and caring attention to our family!
Providing great opportunities for child education and child care.
We are so thankful to have our son at Bnai. It is a loving environment & the staff truly care about the kids. Mrs. Alisa especially had an impact on his growth & we will be forever grateful to her for going above & beyond for the kids. This school has brought me great peace of mind knowing that my child is well cared for & he loves going to school each day.
My son is in his third year at B’nai now and there’s nowhere I’d rather send him to school every day. The teachers and staff are truly so kind and welcoming to every family that steps foot in the school. They all get to know all the kids and families, and they take such good care of the students there. B’nai prioritizes security and safety, which is very comforting as a parent. They also offer so many unique experiences for the students such as Teva (Nature) class, art class, music and movement class, and an indoor sensory gym. Additionally, they offer the opportunity for students to engage in some extracurricular activities at the school. My family loves B’nai not just because of all these things, but because we really feel a sense of community there. Everyone is very kind and looks out for one another.
We have had such a positive experience at the B’nai Israel preschool. It is very different than a large corporate daycare facility. It is a warm, nurturing, clean, organized and safe environment. It has a community feel where all the teachers in the school know all the students. I highly recommend this school to all those looking for a smaller more individualized approach childcare.

I have had at least one, and sometimes two, children at B'nai for over 3 years now. I know that they are always cared for well when at school, and feel so lucky to have such a wonderful school in our area!
