Jewish

At Temple Sinai we nurture fuller Jewish lives for all of our partners and that begins in Gan Sinai where Jewish values and traditions animate all of our learning and growing. We celebrate Shabbat each week, learn about and celebrate all of the Jewish holidays and make prayer a part of every day. 

 

Child-Centered

As a child-centered program, it is vital that each child at Gan Sinai gets the attention they deserve. That's why, like all of our other classes, our Kindergarten program will only accept a small number of children to keep our teacher:student ratio low. 

​

Play-Based

Experts say children shouldn’t be sitting at desks, completing worksheets or listening to teachers talk for the majority of the time. An older, more extensive body of research suggests children should be playing both within lessons and between lessons, because that’s the best way for a 5-year-old to grasp difficult concepts, whether it’s working with a classmate or counting to 100. Inspired by this scholarship our Kindergarten program lets kids be kids and explore the world around them through play. Our children grow in early literacy and numeracy, scientific thinking, and all other educational areas in joyful, engaging and creative ways - designed explicitly for young learners.

​

Family-Focused

Partnering with our parents, guardians  and families is critical to our students growth and success. We not only invite, but sincerely ask that you be active members of your child's educational team alongside our teachers and specialists.

Nature-Rich Environment

Gan Sinai is located at Temple Sinai in North Miami Beach on a 14 acre majestic wooded campus. We have a brand new playground, organic garden, butterfly garden, and engineering garden in addition to fields, our own swimming pool and a beautiful nature trail.
