Hours

Preschool hours are 9:15 to 12:00 noon with the exception of the Transition 2’s.

Transitions 2’s Parent-Toddler class is offered to children who will be two years old between September and December. Throughout the fall, toddlers attend class with a parent or guardian in this introduction to school.

Beginning mid-January, children attend without a parent. This program provides a wonderful opportunity to transition children from a parent-child class into a mid-year two-year-old class.

Lunch Bunch and Enrichment Programs

In addition to our morning classes, we offer afternoon Lunch Bunch and Enrichment Classes to older 2’s and all 3’s, 4- and 5-year-olds.

Lunch Bunch hours are 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm. Children bring a dairy or pareve lunch to school and enjoy lunchtime with their friends and teachers.

Enrichment Class hours are 1:00 pm - 2:15 pm. We offer interesting and creative Enrichment Classes which may include: art, science, math, storytelling, cooking, Torah Tales, yoga, music and karate.

Summer Program

Our six-week program, consisting of two three-week sessions, begins in late June. Children enjoy a fun-filled summer in a relaxed, nurturing atmosphere. Knowledgeable junior counselors assist experienced teachers.

Daily activities at BEPS Summer Program include water play, sports, and music.
