Keshet Child Development Center

Keshet Child Development Center is a Jewish preschool founded in 1980 for children 2-5.The school’s goal is to increase our children’s awareness of the world in which they live thorough a program that encourages social, emotional, educational, and physical development. Keshet’s warm, friendly and stimulating environment enables all of our children to feel comfortable, express themselves openly and become valued members of the school and our community. Emphasis is place on instilling a love for, and an understanding of our Jewish heritage, traditions, and values while laying the foundation for a lifelong joy of learning.

The name of our pre­school, pronounced ke-shet, means “rainbow.” The rainbow, the symbol of G-d’s covenant with Noah and with all future generations, also symbolizes our school’s commitment to offer children a learning environment that nurtures a love for and an understanding of our Jewish heritage, traditions, and values.

Judaism and its customs and traditions are woven into our broad educational program. At Keshet, we observe Jewish customs, holidays, and ceremonies. A typical day at Keshet includes free play, circle time, playground time, story time, group activities, snack time, and enrichment activities.
