Our newest parenting group Hi Ya Baby is a great place for unaffiliated parents with infants to get acquainted as they meet weekly for support and discussion. New parents are greeted with a beautiful baby basket and attendance at Hi Ya Baby for 6 weeks compliments of the Edna and Stanley Tuttleman Rabbinic Chair.

PLAY PARTNERS
You and your toddler will have fun through Jewish holiday and Shabbat activities music art snacks and exploration of parenting topics facilitated by our leader Bobby Danowsky. New sessions start every season and run for two hours each week on designated days.

TODDLERS AND TWOS
Adath Israel Preschool offers classes just for children starting at eighteen months old. These groups provide toddlers and twos with the opportunity to form relationships with other children and with their teachers and to acquaint themselves with the Preschool experience. Significant attention is given to easing the transition from an exclusively home environment to one outside of the home. We offer an introduction to Jewish life through ritual music language and holiday celebrations. Children may attend Toddlers and Twos for two three or five half or full day sessions with the option of extended days.
