Parents' Comments
Parent #1
This is the greatest pre-school. I am from the East Coast and I knew within a week that this school was better than 2 of the other schools I sent my kids too there. The teachers are super warm adn friendly. They always keep in mind what is best for the individual student. The facility is colorful and full of terrific resources. The kids are outside everyday. They have music and drama and science for 3 yr olds! They learn about the Jewish culture. The snacks are healthy and yummy. All in all I highly recommend it as a Jewish preschool.
Parent #2
Gan Mah Tov provides and incredibly warm and loving environment for my children. If you are looking for a Jewish preschool that will nurture your 2 year old and help develop him/her into a confident, self-assured 4/5 year old who is equipped and ready for kindergarden, Gan Man Tov is the place for you!
Parent #3
Warm, excellent education in a welcoming Jewish community setting. Great teachers.

I couldn't be happier with the school. My girls love going to school and always say that school is fun.
I like how the curriculum is organized and how they implement the Jewish culture daily. The kids know all the teachers and staff at the school. it is a great community.

We ABSOLUTELY LOVE Gan Mah Tov! Our 3 year old daughter is there and doing VERY well -we look forward to our son begninning this Sept once he turns 2. Our daughter is on the shy side and the Director and teachers are simply wonederful - they create a very loving and safe enviornment for all different personalities/temperments. They are very good about providing feedback with our daughter and they really care about her and her development. The families are very warm and welcoming regardless of your level of observance. We are not Orthodox and feel VERY comfortable at the gan, we are THRILLED to be a part of this very special community of people!

A Great Book Rhymes!
Kids are a funny bunch. They are often loath to change and anything new. But still, our little ones are open to so much -- and so much more than we more ossified parents are! Think of poetry: preschoolers happily read and repeat poems with ease and

My husband and I just came from a preschool teacher conference for our 21 month old. Yes, absorb that for a minute... we talked about behavior and development and it was all perfectly normal, but a small part of me felt like I was at the principal's office.I better get
