Temple Shalom Nursery School is affiliated with Temple Shalom of Newton. Established in 1973, the nursery school welcomes children of both Temple Shalom members and non-members in our community.
Our school serves children ages 18 months through five years old. The learning experience at TSNS is informed by the fundamental Jewish values of community, kindness, respect, strive for knowledge, and justice. The school also carries the honor of being the first school in Massachusetts certified as a Nature Explore Program. Educators at the Temple Shalom Nursery school are committed to providing children with stimulating hands-on experiences based on the natural environment.
Our educators take pride in creating an inclusive school culture. We interpret Inclusion at our Nursery School broadly: we strive to meet the diverse needs of young learners, welcome interfaith and non-Jewish families, and support parents and children by honoring their ethnicity, race, gender orientation, and cultural or religious affiliation. Our practices demonstrate that the values of pluralism and inclusion are deeply rooted in Jewish history and culture.
We are proud to offer our children and families a thriving Jewish learning community, nature-rich curriculum, outdoor classroom, caring and talented educators, and full-day extended options. Our hours are 7:45 AM to 5:30 PM
