Gan Kavana: A Nurturing Jewish and Hebrew-Immersion Preschool!


"Gan" is the Hebrew word for "garden" 
We like to think of it as a preschool-environment where children blossom. 

OUR GAN (Seattle's only Hebrew Immersion Pre-school!) OFFERS:

  • A first-rate educational platform that will boost children's linguistic, sensory & cognitive abilities through early exposure to a second language. (Seriously - lots of scientific research demonstrates that learning a second language is great for kids’ brains!)
  • A hands-on, play-based approach that encourages imagination & creativity.
  • An opportunity for children to explore Jewish traditions and customs and build a sense of Jewish identity in a fun way.
  • Respect for every child, and a commitment to provide activities that are appropriate & challenging for each child's developmental stage.
  • Lots of personalized attention and support – we have a single classroom, with an intimate group of kids and a low student-teacher ratio (and 2 adults in the classroom at all times).
  • “Ruach yisraelit” – an Israeli atmosphere.  It’s hard to put this into words, but it means you’ll experience the right blend of flexiblity and structure, approachable teachers, project-based learning, and exposure to Israeli & Jewish music and culture.
  • Fun!
