GOT FOMO? Temple Aliyah’s Preschool
Can Help! Temple Aliyah’s Preschool is a longtime favorite in the West Valley, so it’s no wonder classes fill quickly. The good news for anyone with FEAR OF MISSING OUT is that they still have a spot for your little one! They just opened a 5th 2-Year-Old Class and have 4 spots left in that room. They still have 2 spots in our 18-month class, 1 spot left for 3-Year-Olds, 4 spots in Pre-K and 1 spot in the Kindergarten/Gesher class. Don’t Miss Out on the nurturing Jewish atmosphere of warmth and love where each child has the opportunity to grow, learn and develop at his own pace, and where he or she is always accepted for their unique self. For more information, schedule a tour or register, call (818) 346-1552 or visit www.TempleAliyah.org/ece.
