Jewish Minds
Creating Meaningful Experiences
Our youngest learn by doing, hearing, smelling, touching, tasting, and seeing things that are interesting to them. We create experiences, infused with Jewish content, that combine music making, story time, and messy fun projects that tickle your tots and spark their imagination. Our Family Center provides a space for both you and your children to make friends and have meaningful experiences.
