Our Jewish-oriented program provides a safe, nurturing and supportive environment in which your child, ages 6 weeks through Pre-Kindergarten, learns to play and socialize. Temple Emanu El Preschool includes the use of our private playgrounds, a large muscle room, Hebrew, music and gym classes, daily art, science, math, social studies and literature activities.

What sets us apart from others: (1) our faculty to student ratio; (2) our faculty all have specialized training (including CPR, first aid and child abuse identification and prevention) and take continuing education throughout each year; and (3) our curriculum is aligned with Ohio’s kindergarten readiness requirements.
