REGISTRATION FOR GAN ULPAN 2012-2013 HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN!
In Parshat Veyechi, Yaakov Avinu delivers his parting words to his children
as he prepares to leave this world.  Interestingly, he uses these precious
moments not to impart wisdom or information to them, but to help them
understand themselves- their strengths and weaknesses, and the tremendous
impact they can have on the world. 
In this vein, at Gan Ulpan our teachers' primary goal is not the
transmission of facts (although of course this happens too!), but unlocking
the potential of each child. 
How is this done?
The first step is for the teachers to truly get to know the children.  This
means listening to them, taking their ideas seriously, observing them at
play, trying to understand how they perceive and experience the world around
them.
As this is achieved, the teachers embark on the journey of learning together
with the children, using literature, art experiences, music, science and
creative drama to tap into the children's natural curiosity.
The goal?  For the children to view learning as an exciting experience, the
world as a fascinating place, and themselves as competent learners. 
Sound like a dream?  Come see for yourself- we are happy to give prospective
parents a personal tour.
Gan Ulpan is a warm and nurturing learning environment for children ages
three to five that offers:
-A high teacher/child ratio and small group size.  Each group has a maximum
of 17 children and two teachers
-A gentle transition from English to Hebrew over the course of the year,
with one bi-lingual teacher and one teacher who speaks only Hebrew
-A Torani environment with an emphasis on developing a love for Torah and
Eretz Yisrael
-A program that builds social skills, self-confidence, and a positive
attitude toward learning

"My daughter has learned to explore life and our world in her own unique
way. She is encouraged to follow her own interests thereby tapping in to her
strengths. She is able to "think out of the box" allowing her creative young
mind to constantly analyze her surroundings and to express herself freely.
She has learned to problem solve all different types of situations in her
daily activities." -Atara Lavi
