StartSmart is a new afternoon program that provides a gentle first introduction to Preschool for children ages 16-22 months. A gradual separation schedule grows into a 2-hour program filled with art, circle time, sensory experiences and outdoor play. Jewish themes are celebrated throughout, as children absorb Jewish values along with socialization skills, gross and fine motor developement, and early literacy in a stimulating yet gentle environment.

Days: Monday-Thursday 1:15-3:15 pm

          Friday (Fall and Spring only) 1:00-2:00 pm - Special Shabbat Hour

January-June

Start Smart students are given first priority for admission to The Chabad Preschool the following September.
