Early Childhood Mission:

KBA is a safe and nurturing Jewish environment that fosters curiosity, growth, and confidence.  Students in the Early Childhood program at KBA begin their journey of lifelong learning and friendship by celebrating their identity, independence, and values.  Our play-based approach encourages young learners to explore, problem-solve, and build connections to their friends, their teachers, and their community.

Infant (3 months)-Toddler Program

The youngest members of the KBA Family begin to put their roots down between the ages of 3-18 months. Our Shorashim or Infant-Toddler Program boasts a safe and nurturing environment, with small group sizes and excellent teacher: student ratios. Our warm and skilled staff lovingly take care of our smallest students while fostering a developmentally appropriate play and exploration-based curriculum. "KB-Babies" get to be full-fledged students in our Early Childhood-8th grade program and participate in school wide celebrations and holiday activities. There is a nurse on-site every day.

Early Childhood 18 Months through Pre-Kindergarten

Our Early Childhood learners receive a rich, meaningful, and balanced curriculum to help them grow each day.

Warm, dedicated, and experienced teachers provide a child-centered, play-based curriculum full of hands-on activities. Our secure, dedicated outdoor playground is designed especially for preschool students.
