Gan Ilan Preschool - Temple Isaiah

Established in 1999, Gan Ilan, or “Garden of the Trees,” is Temple Isaiah’s cherished preschool, known by many as the number one Jewish day school in California. We cater to children ages 18 months to entering Kindergarten, prioritizing members of Temple Isaiah. At Gan Ilan, children engage in active learning through exploration and interaction with adults, peers, and their environment. We foster an environment where children can question, practice, and imagine, nurturing their curiosity and understanding of the world. Recognizing each child as a unique individual with their own developmental timeline, we celebrate and accommodate diverse learning styles in our curriculum design. Our play-based approach, led by great teachers, is dynamic, emergent, and intricately intertwined with Jewish customs and values, allowing students to excel and grow their skills and imagination.
