Renanim at Riverdale

RENANIM is our name. In Hebrew “Renanim” means happiness. We offer an excellent preschool education in an atmosphere of happiness and joy for children 18 months to 6 years old. We started in Israel and now operate in Manhattan and in Riverdale. With over 45 years of experience we have a lot to offer your child.

RENANIM provides a caring nurturing and stimulating environment where your child will learn through developmentally appropriate activities. We strive to build confidence and self-esteem fostering active learning through exploration and inquiry. Our classes are organized according to age. While the programs for the younger children differ from those for the older children the curriculum for all of the children is designed to encourage them to participate in creative activities and activities that promote language and speech.

Our primary focus with our youngest children is to enable them to deal with their separation and foster their socialization and initiation into nursery school. As the children become more mature we continue to assist them in developing their social skills and begin to assist them in acquiring language and speech skills in conjunction with early literacy.

We offer a Universal Pre-Kindergarten program for our 4-year old class. Working in conjunction with the New York City Department of Education we prepare the children to enter and succeed in the kindergarten of their choice. This 2.5-hour part of our school day is funded by the Department of Education and is offered at NO CHARGE to children who live in the Bronx.
