Thelma K. Reisman Preschool of Beth El

rly drop off and extended day, as well as a summer camp. Our Jewishness is integrated into the program by exposing children to Jewish culture and traditions. All students participate at age appropriate levels. We are an integral part of the Beth El community -- children of all faiths and levels of observance are welcome. Our Preschool Environment

For more than 35 years, our mission has remained the same: to provide a warm and nurturing Jewish environment for young children. Our indoor and new outdoor facilities were planned with the needs of young children in mind. Our large, sunny rooms offer many opportunities for imaginative play, art activities and quiet reading. Our newly equipped state-of-the-art outdoor playground equipment supports imaginative play and opportunities for physical exercise. When the weather keeps us indoors, our newly renovated play space, provides the perfect space for gross motor activities, including tumbling and kid's yoga. Reisman Preschool has its very own library, from which teachers borrow books for classroom use and parents may borrow books to take home. Our Preschool Staff

Our experienced, highly qualified teaching staff and assistants provide the most innovative instruction for our preschoolers. Each class is led by one teacher and one teaching assistant. Our teachers value the whole child -- their physical and cognitive growth as well as their feelings, social and character development. Danielle Weitz, our director since 2016, is one of the area's most highly-regarded educators. Previously, she was Curriculum and Program Coordinator at Congregation Agudath Israel’s Early Childhood Center in Caldwell, NJ. She has taught at preschools and religious schools in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Israel.
