At The Gan, we believe in the power of early education to plant seeds of curiosity, resilience, and a lifelong love for learning. Our name, "The Gan," means “The Garden” in Hebrew, and it beautifully reflects our mission: to help each child grow from a tiny seedling into a strong, confident tree, rooted in values, curiosity, and self-discovery.
Child-Centered Learning
Our educational approach is child-centered, drawing inspiration from a variety of educational practices such as Montessori, Reggio Emilia principles and the Nurtured Heart approach. Just as a user-centered approach tailors experiences to an individual, we design our curriculum around each child’s unique personality, needs, and interests.
Children learn independently through hands-on, self-directed activities, encouraging exploration and decision-making while emphasizing community, collaboration, and expression. This means that your child will not only learn at their own pace but will also engage in meaningful projects with their peers, fostering both independence and teamwork.
Experiential Judaism and Love for Israel
At The Gan, we don’t just teach about Judaism and Israel – we live it. We believe that the best way for children to understand and love their heritage is through immersive, joyful experiences. From celebrating Shabbat and holidays to exploring stories, songs, and traditions that connect us to Israel, our curriculum makes Jewish values and culture an everyday part of life.
Our program invites children to see the beauty of Jewish values such as kindness, respect, and gratitude through real-life activities, whether it’s helping a friend, learning to give, or simply saying "thank you." We integrate these values into every part of our day, helping children develop a moral compass that they’ll carry with them as they grow.
