At Gan Kol Shalom, art is more than a fun activity.
When children paint, glue, mix colors, and create, they are building fine motor skills, making choices, using their imaginations, and learning to trust their own ideas.
We love giving our children space to explore, express themselves, and feel proud of what they make. 🎨
Our outdoor play space was designed for climbing, balancing, gathering, exploring, and letting little imaginations lead the way. We can’t wait for summer days filled with fresh air, movement, friendship, and play. 🌻
Camp registration still open! Weekly sessions June 15th-August14th.
Partnered with Red Panda Art Studio

Fresh air, busy hands, and happy little explorers.
Outdoor time gives children a chance to reset, move their bodies, and use their senses in a way that indoor play can’t always offer. It helps them practice balance, coordination, problem-solving, creativity, and independence all while having fun with friends.
We love seeing our students light up when the outdoors becomes their classroom. 💚

Summer is almost here, and we’re looking forward to days filled with meaningful experiences through art, nature, play, and community. 🌿🎨
At Nature Gan Summer Camp, children spend their days creating, exploring outdoors, building friendships, and discovering the world around them in a warm, nurturing environment. Through open-ended art, nature-based experiences, and plenty of time to wonder and play, each week brings new opportunities to grow.
We’re also excited to continue our partnership with Red Panda, adding even more creativity, connection, and exploration to our summer days. 💚

What a beautiful first year it has been with our Gan Kol Shalom families. We are so grateful for the laughter, learning, friendships, and sweet memories shared with our children this year.
As we say goodbye to a wonderful school year, we are also feeling so excited for what’s ahead. Next school year, our preschool is growing into two more classes, and we can’t wait to welcome new faces while saying hello again to our returning friends.
Don’t forget — enrollment is open for Gan Nature Camp, running weekly from June 15–August 14. We can’t wait for a summer filled with outdoor play, creativity, discovery, and community.

There’s something so special about watching children explore outside. 🌿
A rock becomes a mountain to climb. Sidewalk chalk turns into a shared masterpiece. A dandelion becomes something worth stopping to examine.
Outdoor play gives children space to move, build confidence, connect with friends, and discover the world around them at their own pace.
We love these simple moments: balancing, drawing, collecting, wondering, laughing, and exploring. These are the moments that make childhood feel like childhood. 💛

Inspired by the calm and curious spirit of the red panda, we follow the children’s lead as they explore, create, and connect.
