Testimonials

“Alef Bet helps to foster a love of learning and a deep joy for Judaism in its young students. My son Rory comes home singing Hebrew songs each day and sharing his enthusiasm for all he's learned in school. The teachers put so much thought and creativity into their lessons that each day is a different experience. The children have opportunities in their day for creative play, Montessori style "work" time that is hands-on and independent, outdoor fun, sports, and of course academics. In Pre-K my son has learned to sound out and write many three letter words and seems extremely well prepared for Kindergarten. His teachers know and understand him deeply and are responsive to his needs. Thank you Alef Bet for an exceptional preschool experience!”

Beth Freedman - Pelham, NY

"Alef Bet is a warm, nurturing and supportive school where our kids have grown to be happy, curious and confident learners. The morahs and staff instilled in them a deep appreciation for the wonders of our world, and nurtured our kids' self-esteem and imaginations. Alef Bet imbued Jewish values and love for Torah, holidays and traditions in every subject they taught. Our kids were happy to go to school every day, which may be the greatest endorsement of all. We could not be happier with our experience at Alef Bet."

“We have had the joy of seeing three of our children thrive at Alef Bet Preschool, where their love for life and Judaism has blossomed. They eagerly go to school each morning and come home each day filled with happiness and love. The diverse activities, including yoga, music, and especially gardening, have enriched their lives, teaching them to appreciate their environment and build lasting friendships. We are deeply grateful for the dedication and care that Alef Bet Preschool provides, creating a truly loving and nurturing environment for our children.”

Goldstein Family - New Rochelle, NY

“The first time my then three year old son stepped foot in his new Alef Bet classroom, he actually refused to leave – same story repeated every day for weeks, he fell so in love with the school that all he wanted to do was stay there. We had just moved from Brooklyn, but almost immediately at Alef Bet, we found ourselves surrounded by a truly incredible community of caring, dedicated teachers and staff as well as other amazing families. My son quickly felt very much at home here, as did we.
