Gan Yeladim is an inclusive preschool and early childhood program in Vermont, serving children from infancy through age five. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, the school emphasizes the process and experience of early learning, with a curriculum shaped by children’s interests and emerging ideas. Its six classrooms offer age-based environments for infants, waddlers, toddlers, preschoolers, and pre-K children, beginning at two months and continuing through age four.

Grounded in Jewish values, Gan Yeladim incorporates Jewish culture and traditions into a nurturing, stimulating setting. The program aims to respect each child’s individuality, encourage a love and pride in Jewish identity, and provide meaningful experiences for children and families. Learning through play is an important part of the approach, supported by hands-on teachers who communicate with families and care for children’s holistic development. Gan Yeladim also offers enrichment classes and extended learning opportunities as part of its broader early childhood experience.
