Fall enrollment begins

By Rabbi Ariel Boxman, Director of Lifelong Learning

Temple Shalom Preschool is excited to announce that it is opening fall enrollment this month! Our school has grown immensely since we reopened our doors in August 2020, and we are continuing to add more classrooms.

This summer, we plan to open an infant classroom for the first time ever! There is a significant shortage of quality infant care in Naples and many working parents struggle to find an option for their infant when they need to return to work. We are thrilled to be able to finally open an infant classroom and provide this necessary service to our local parents.

Our infant classroom will hold 8 infants, and students may enroll as early as 3 months old. The class will be furnished with cribs, rocking chairs and lots of sensory toys. In an effort to provide the highest level of safety, each student in the infant class will be provided a Halo Sleep Sack, to encourage safe sleep, and an Owlet Sleep Sock to monitor oxygen and heart rate. Our teachers in the infant class will be fully trained in quality infant care and are already looking forward to showering the sweet babies with love and warmth.

In addition to adding a new infant class, we are also planning to open an additional VPK classroom for students turning 4 years old. Our school is thriving, and our families are happy. We couldn’t be more thrilled.

We are grateful for all the support we have been given over the last two years and are looking forward to a wonderful 2022. Wishing you and your loved ones a Happy New Year!
