My daughter LOVES Kehillah. The teachers and admin have been nothing but caring, communicative, and embracing of our family. It’s been about seven months, and we are happy to see my child continue to grow here over the years! I can’t recommend this spot enough.
The teachers in the infant room are kind, gentle and caring. My baby loves it there and he loves his teachers. They work hard to make sure each baby can follow their own schedule, my baby isn’t much of a napper and I love that he can just play quietly while the others nap. I’m going to be so sad when he’s ready to move to the next room because we’ve grown attached to the teachers but I’m sure the next room will be great too! ❤️
My family has had a wonderful experience at Kehillah. Contrary to other reviews, I have found the facility to be clean and that my child's diaper is changed frequently, she is well-fed, and well cared for. The teachers are wonderful, helpful, supportive, and there is good communication between the teachers and parents. The program is educational, incorporating a learning pedagogy called "creative curriculum". The teachers reinforce important health, safety, and manners related behaviors. When discipline is necessary the teachers use redirection. The best part is my daughter really loves the school and is very happy there. I would highly recommend Kehillah and not put too much stock in older reviews. Talk to families who have been there more recently. The currently director and assistant director are both fairly new and have done amazing work at the school.
We absolutely love Kehillah! Our daughter started at Kehillah at 13 months old and has been there for about 5 months now. The staff is wonderful- they all knew our daughter's name within days of her starting and genuinely seem to happy to see her each day. We receive a daily report about her eating, drinking, bathroom, and activities. Kehillah also sends photos of her every day so we can see her smiling and having fun. She comes home knowing new songs, words, and concepts, and the activities she does work on refining her motor skills. She's learned so much! Having been born during the pandemic, it's incredible to see our daughter interacting and enjoying time with other toddlers. Kehillah has also been great with Covid-19 protocols; all staff wear masks, sanitize the rooms, etc. We've felt very comfortable and safe with the center's handling of the pandemic. Overall, we highly recommend!
Kehillah was the only childcare facility that was fair about their enrollment and waitlist. When they didn’t have a spot for my child by our desired start date, our enrollment fee was refunded. Having spent hundreds of dollars to get on daycare waitlists, I really appreciated their policy and I believe it speaks to the integrity of their program.
