Early Childhood
We’re big on little ones! That’s why our Tikvah Tot Programs are thoughtfully developed
and nurtured to educate the whole child and engage the entire family. Our mission is to
provide an unforgettable early learning experience with programs that enrich children’s
lives by teaching the values of Reform Judaism. For more than twenty years, our early
childhood programs have been providing an environment that fosters independence,
creative expression, self-esteem, and community awareness. The atmosphere is positive and stimulating, the methods are involving and hands-on, and our children are excited to be here.
Tot Shabbat
Tot Shabbat is a brief, lively service filled with songs, stories, and prayer specifically
designed to appeal to young children. Our Tot Shabbat services are generally held once a month on Fridays at 6:30 p.m.
Holiday Workshops
These workshops are designed to help the very young in our community become familiar with the symbols, songs, stories, and prayers. Activities generally include a craft and storytelling and/or song. Children participate with their parents, which helps establish the connection of religion, holidays, and family.
Our workshops are open to children ranging from the ages of 2 to 8 years old and are free of charge. We urge you to invite other young families who also wish to learn and
participate in these activities. These activities are also an enjoyable way for grandparents to spend a morning with their grandchildren.
Our holiday workshops are generally held monthly on Saturday mornings.
