Kaplan Nursery School

Our KNS End-of-Year Picnic was filled with laughter, face painting, bubbles, a magic show, pizza, & ice cream. 🍦☀️🍕🎩

More importantly, it was a chance for children, teachers and families to come together and celebrate the friendships that have grown throughout the year.

As we head into our final week of school, we are grateful for the joy, connections, and moments that make KNS such a special place. Here’s to one more week of learning, playing and growing together! ❤️ 💛 💚 💙

Another picture day in the books! The outtakes were priceless but we can’t wait to see the official photos arriving in June. 📸✨

This week, we’re celebrating the heart of KNS : our amazing early childhood teachers 💛 ❤️ 💙 💚

Thank you for bringing so much warmth, creativity, and joy into our classrooms every day. You help our children feel safe, seen, and excited to grow, learn and discover.

Past and present parents, share your favorite thing about our Kaplan Nursery School teachers!

We’re so grateful for all that you do. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! 🍎

We were so excited to welcome four seniors from the to our early childhood program for their Senior Experience!

These incredible students have jumped right into classroom life, reading stories, joining in play, and building such meaningful connections with our children. Their warmth, enthusiasm, and positive energy are felt in classrooms and our students are truly benefiting from these interactions.

We are excited that one of the interns, Zack Levy, is a graduate of Kaplan Nursery School. Watching a former student return as a role model is such an incredible full-circle experience. ❤️ 💛 💙 💚

We feel so lucky to have these thoughtful seniors with us and are so grateful for the joy and inspiration they’re bringing into our classrooms!

Today we celebrated Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel’s 78th birthday 🇮🇱!

Our day was filled with hands-on learning and joy. One class built the Kotel using large hollow blocks and another used egg cartons, placing their own special notes inside just like at the real wall!

We explored Israel through art by creating flags, and through food by making (and tasting!) Israeli salad—chopping fresh tomatoes and cucumbers all by ourselves. There was music and movement as we danced to Israeli songs and sang “Happy Birthday” to Israel in both Hebrew and English.

Along the way, the children learned some new Hebrew words, listened to stories about Israel and its culture, and explored maps to learn more about this special place.

Happy birthday, Israel, we loved celebrating and learning about you 🇮🇱 💙 🤍 🇮🇱

SPS got a little makeover while we were away ✨

As you walk to school tomorrow, keep an eye out for the brand new awning over our entryway 👀

We can’t wait to see your children back at school tomorrow!!

More pictures to come from our KNS Family Seder 2026!

In the meantime, thank you Streit’s Matzos () for generously gifting a case of matzah to Kaplan Nursery School. We enjoyed cooking with the matzah during the week, eating it at our All School Seder, and searching for the afikomen to end the Seder. What a delicious and meaningful way to celebrate Passover with our community!

Be sure to look for Streit’s Matzos in stores or at streitsmatzos.com. Wishing all Chag Passover Semeach!
