Hillel Preschool, Raleigh

At Hillel Preschool, our main objective is to create the perfect environment for a young childs cognitive, social, and emotional development. By utilizing his/her fascination and curiosity of the world around, we provide the opportunity for exploration and discovery of themselves as independent and inquisitive learners. Being a Jewish institution, we incorporate in our curriculum some of the beauty of religion and Jewish Culture. We set out to impart a faith and trust in G-d and His Mitzvot (Precepts). And to nurture a love for the Torah, Israel, and all things Jewish. Ivrit (Hebrew) is introduced through song, games and simple conversation, to become part of our students everyday routine. Every classroom has two highly accredited teachers who through their devotion, patience, and care, comes a curriculum which caters to each childs developmental pace. With each child at his/her own level, the teachers "bring the classroom to them" by engaging every childs' specific strengths. This personal attention, ensures that every project is the students own creation. The teachers guide the children, promoting active learning, problem-solving, discovery of friendship and exploration of their new expanded learning world. The classroom is a family in which Jewish values are modeled and reinforced through structured and unstructured activities. We encourage a young childs' most important work- creative play. Every day this is accomplished with art, music, stories, language, Jewish living, and hands-on study. Our classrooms are outfitted with state-of-the-art preschool furnishings. We also have our own ergonomically designed playground and special outdoor equipment. As our goal is to provide a fun and safe setting, where children really do love to learn and learn to love.
