In the preschool, every lesson is utilized as a valuable opportunity to inculcate our children with our priceless heritage.

Yiddishkeit is strengthened during story time and playtime as well during the exciting lessons prepared by moros who understand that transmitting our mesorah is one of their primary goals. A positive self-image is another important goal for YKP, and we are proud of our moros who reinforce this by warmly applauding each youngster’s social and scholastic achievements.

Yeshiva Ktana preschool is a professional preschool designed to maximize the learning experience of each youngster in our program. Because our moros attend regular workshops led by nationally acclaimed professionals in the fields of early childhood and special education, they are always aware of emerging classroom trends. This translates into enhanced teaching methods designed to promote excitement in the classrooms.

We use a child-centered experiential approach, promoting hands-on learning. Our different learning centers focus on building skills in fine and gross motor development, and bolstering cognitive, language, physical, social and emotional development.

Language skills are promoted through our literacy center; math and science learning programs encourage critical thinking skills; and the children’s imaginations are boosted during ‘Story time’ and ‘Open-ended Art’ activities. ‘Music and Movement’ and ‘Wall-Climbing’ programs are fun and energetic ways to reinforce gross motor skills and muscle tone.

Our emergent writing center spurs fine motor development, as well as reinforcing the verbal skills acquired in the literacy center. Moros also gently guide the social and emotional intelligence of the children through independent learning opportunities.
