About
^{The Dumbo Gan}

At The Dumbo Gan Preschool, we strive to nurture each childs innate sense of wonder and curiosity. We firmly believe that the cornerstone for all cognitive learning is a nurtured sense of self worth, achieved by celebrating each childs individual creative expressions and their unique strengths. We capture your child's natural joy, encouraging your child to observe the world around, and express themselves in a variety of ways. Children need to touch, feel, explore, analyze, investigate and experience. Through active participation, learning goes beyond knowing to experiencing.At our preschool, Jewish learning is not simply a subject. The warmth, meaning and practices of Judaism are an integral part of each day. Jewish songs, holidays and traditions are taught in a meaningful and joyous way.We utilize an extensive supply of early childhood toys, games and manipulatives to give our children the hands-on experiences that they will need to expand their imaginations, as well as to develop their motor skills. Every child is encouraged to learn and absorb to the utmost of his/her own ability and is not expected to perform as their peers.Accepting children 12 months to 4 yearsOpen to children of all backgroundsSchool hours are 9 am to 2 pm dailyYoung students take naps on cots providedLunch and all snacks are providedAfter care is available Monday to Friday from 2 to 4 pm for $20 per dayThe school is closed on Jewish holidaysDaily recess takes place for the younger kids in the school's backyard and for the older kids at the John Street lawn in the Park
