At Har Zion Early Childhood Center, we believe that children thrive when families partner with professional educators to create a lifelong love of learning through exploration, creativity, collaboration and Jewish tradition. We welcome children at two years of age and hope they will stay with us until they leave for kindergarten!
Being Jewish is not a requirement to attend Har Zion Early Childhood Center. We model and integrate the values that are common across religions - being a good person, sportsmanship, “random acts of kindness,” social action, and care of the earth. Children of diverse faiths and cultures participate in our programs and are exposed to Jewish and Israeli culture.
We are very proud of our Reggio Emilia inspired program and invite you and your children to join our preschool family. In our mixed age classrooms, laughter is key to joyful learning!
Please contact Director of Early Childhood Education, at 708-366-9000 or preschool@wsthz.org to schedule a virtual tour.
