Mission Statement
The Lauren Elise Bier Nursery School at Congregation AABJ&D provides a warm, loving, and nurturing environment where children play, socialize, explore, create and learn. We value all children in an inclusive environment and respect their individual capabilities and potential. Our age-appropriate classrooms are designed based on academic readiness and ongoing explorations in their natural environment. Through our expertly planned curriculum, your child will receive only the best in early Judaic and secular education. The joy of learning and love of Judaism are cultivated every day through experimenting, observing, exploring and questioning. Our program provides a curriculum for all areas of children’s growth: physical, emotional, social, linguistic, and cognitive. 

Philosophy
The teachers’ place is alongside the child, posing questions, that elicit imaginative thinking, problem solving, and decision making in the pursuit of a deeper perspective as well as, expanding upon explorations and helping children to find answers to their questions. Our goal is to provide children with the skills that will help them to become lifelong learners, independent thinkers and team players.

Woven into our curriculum is a feeling of Ahavat Yisrael, unity among our students, teachers and by extension to the greater community. In the partnership of learning among children and teachers, we foster responsibility, cooperation, active participation, care, and respect-qualities in a Torah rich environment. 

Hours
Our nursery school program is available for children ages 3 months through Pre-K. We are pleased to offer flexible extended hours for all classes, between 7:30am - 5:00 pm.
