Temple Kol Ami is ex-

knowledge and
strength in eongrega
tion leadership to help
bring Temple Kol Ami
to its next level of
growth.
For Temple Kol
Ami this is a major
milestone. In our brief
two year history, we
have built a eongrega
tion with families
eoming from all
around the area. We
have grown a thriving
Religious sehool, as
well as boasting an aetive Sister
hood. Temple Kol Ami will now
fulfill a key goal in its long-range
plans of bringing even more op
portunities for learning and wor
ship to the families of York
County and the surrounding areas.
Rabbi Levanon will be here
monthly eondueting serviees,
leading Torah Study, ereating en-
Seheels
riehment programs, and being a

In addition to Rabbi Levanon

Jewish Preschool on Sardis Hosts Open
House
By Dedee Goldsmith, director,
Jewish Preschool on Sardis
Reeently, a family eame into
the Jewish Presehool on Sardis for
a tour. New to town, they were
looking for a presehool program
and heard about us through a new
aequaintanee. After the tour, the
family seemed surprised by all our
program offerings. The family
heard that we were a presehool,
but didn’t know just how many
options were available to meet the
Member SIPC
Miss Betty and Rom.
varying needs of families. Mom
left with a smile saying, “This
might allow me the opportunity to
go baek to work, or stay home to
figure out what I want from my
life in Charlotte.” We are so happy
to make that happen for so many
families.
What I would love the Jewish
eommunity to know is that our
program is quite versatile. We
offer programming for ehildren
ages 1 through 5. The base portion
of the day is from 9 AM-1 PM.
Our early drop off begins with a
smile and an open door at 7:50
AM. Our after sehool program,
our extended day as we eall it, is
available until 6 PM. Need an oe-
easional drop in for extended day
for those busy days? Yep, we offer
that as well. During the summer
we offer four weeklong eamp op
tions for ehildren 18 months-5
years. Camp options offer an ex
tended day as well.
One additional perk is our on
site enriehment. At least four days
per week, JPS offers elasses that
will ehallenge your eritieal think
ing skills, fine motor develop
ment, eoordination, seienee sense,
ereative juiees, and more. During
the fall, we offered Yoga elasses,
Brieks 4 Kidz, Noah’s Art, and
Amazing Athletes. This winter we
are exeited to offer Kieks 4 Kidz,
Fine Motor Fun, Amazing Ath
letes, Einstein Labs, and Gymnas-
ties as our enriehment options.
In addition to our a la earte,
personalized presehool program,
we offer the best edueation in
town. The Jewish Presehool on
Sardis is a North Carolina 5-star
presehool program. Being a 5-star
presehool is a deelaration to the
state that we are eommitted to
hiring well edueated, state eerti-
fied, and experieneed teaehers and
administrators. It means that we
have the best student/teaeher
ratios. It guarantees that ehildren
are individually ehallenged by
developmentally appropriate eur-
rieulum and that we uphold the
best praetiees in the field of early
ehildhood.
Sound like a lot of professional
jargon? Well, imagine walking the
halls and hearing laughter, diseus-
sions, or singing. Envision elass-
rooms with shelves filled with
purposeful and engaging games
that enhanee eritieal thinking
skills and friendships or toys that
develop ereativity and play that is
related to their ages/stages. Feel
the eomfort of knowing your
ehild’s teaeher loves and nurtures
your daughter or son that you ean
walk out the door eonfident that
she will leave sehool at the end of
the day and at the end of the
sehool year as a happy, eonfident
