We recognize that a close partnership between school and family must exist to create healthy, happy children. Our school is a place where parents and indeed the entire family are an integral part of the educational process.
Through classroom participation, parent education workshops, holiday celebration, committees, class meetings and individual conferences, parents and staff work together. The school and class emails inform parents regularly of upcoming activities and ideas for parent-child development. The family becomes a significant part of the larger and very special community of Temple Israel of Hollywood. 

Parent and Me provides age appropriate art, music, and gross motor activities for infants and toddlers as well as an intoduction to the Jewish holidays. Adults have an opportunity to build a strong support system through socialization, exchange of ideas, and holiday celebrations.

Temple Israel's Bay-Nimoy Early Childhood Center offers a warm, creative environment in a Jewish atmosphere where each child’s own unique style of living and learning is valued and nurtured. Our school welcomes all families desiring a Jewish education for their child.


The foundation of personality, self image, and the motivation to learn are all firmly established in the first five years of a child’s life. Using various philosophies-developmental, High Scope and Reggio Emilia, our school gives children the tools, space, and support for the kind of experiences that establish a positive sense of self. Children are encouraged to explore the world, to learn, to be a part of a group and work effectively with peers. Teachers help the children handle frustrations and solve problems in constructive ways. Learning is self-rewarding, productive, joyous, and non-competitive. Temple Israel Nursery School teaches to the total child-emotional, social, intellectual, physical, and spiritual. Our program addresses the four most important tasks of early childhood education which continue throughout life: separation and the achievement of autonomy, language acquisition, communication skills, and socialization.


Activity centers provide for exploration and discovery in a non-hurried environment. Our main goal is to encourage social and emotional development through creative play experience. Language, math, art and music activities are provided daily as well as vigorous outdoor play. Parents are an integral part of the educational process and are invited to participate in Temple events and Jewish holiday celebrations.
