About Us

Our Mission

At Shomrai Preschool, we are dedicated to facilitating the spiritual, educational, emotional and physical development of preschool aged children.

We view and engage our students as capable learners who thrive when offered guided play and inquiry-based learning. Every child is considered a gift from Hashem and is treated with utmost respect and high regard.

Using the most current, and research-based educational information, we are committed to working with every individual child to maximize their joy, curiosity, and potential during these significant years of exponential growth and development.

We strive to provide our children and families with a warm, and loving Torah-centered environment, in which children are imbued with the love of Hashem, Torah values, Mitzvot, Middot, Chaggim, Tefillot and Brachot, Parsha, Ivrit and Eretz Yisrael. These most fundamental Torah values are our sustaining source from which the children in our program learn social skills, critical thinking, express their questions and creativity in a collaborative and supportive learning community.

The Anna Rutner Memorial Fund

In loving memory and in recognition of Morah Anna Rutner’s significant contributions to Young Israel Shomrai Emunah Preschool and our community, we created a fund in her name. Morah Anna was passionate about professional development and was an advocate on behalf of all children. She very much believed that early intervention enables children to reach their full potential and to succeed. The funds are used to help identify and support children with special needs, as well as provide funding for professional development for our educators. The Anna Rutner Memorial Fund furthers the goals of our school and the Jewish community by assisting Shomrai Preschool in fulfilling its commitment to meet all the needs of the children enrolled in the program. Shomrai Preschool strives to maintain the highest quality standards and programming with the goal of inclusion of students with special needs whenever possible.
