ABOUT SMNS
SMNS was founded in 1991 by Temple Sholom congregant Selma Maisel z'l. It was Selma's dream to create a pre-school that would provide a strong foundation for a lifetime love of learning. Today, we keep this vision central to our program by building skills and knowledge in an environment that holds kindness, mutual respect and cooperation as important values.
FULL-DAY AND PART-DAY OPTIONS
In the fall of 2018, the Selma Maisel Nursery School expanded to include a full-day option for children as young as six weeks old through pre-school. Both full-day and part-day programs (part-day is open to 2’s, 3’s and 4’s) are led by experienced and professional teachers and staff, and support an individualized approach to education and care.
LEARNING SPACES
At SMNS, we strive to stay on the cutting edge of early childhood education and have added unique learning spaces including a dedicated STEAM Lab, Gymnastics Studio, raised garden, and an outdoor STEAM playspace. Children take daily trips outside to the multi-level state-of-the-art playground with its own child-size town.
SHABBAT, HOLIDAYS & JEWISH VALUES
Children at SMNS enjoy the wonderful richness of Shabbat, Jewish holidays and traditions through music, stories and creative activities. We often draw on the resources of Temple Sholom’s clergy and professional staff, and all of our families are encouraged to participate in the Temple’s programming geared for young children and their parents.
