Parental participation required: Not required, but it is encouraged, invited, and greatly enjoyed and appreciated.

Special features: We have a strong Judaic and Hebrew component to our dual curriculum. We follow developmentally-appropriate practices, and encourage emergent literacy. Due to the presence of the elementary school, our students get specials such as P.E., music, and creative movement. We also have an arts and hands-on science program.
