Pre-K through 2nd grade

The Temple Sholom Religious School offers a Pre-Kindergarten program for four year-olds, featuring a fun and engaging program geared towards children who are at a transitional point in their early childhood academic/play experiences. At TSRS, we believe that it is our job to nurture each student’s spirituality. Thus, we explore the customs and traditions of our Jewish heritage through formal learning, arts and crafts, music, dance and drama. Creative play is essential to our classroom environment.

Providing children with an easy yet creatively enriching transition from the nursery school environment to a more structured classroom setting, the Pre-Kindergarten at Temple Sholom is a great opportunity to preview what our Religious School is all about.

Pre-Kindergarten classes meet Sunday mornings from 9:30-11:00 am. If you are considering enrolling your child, please feel free to call or email Reb Allison to discuss any questions you may have, at (203) 542-7161 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
