Ruth And Edward Taubman Early Childhood Center

The warmth, the love, the care for the children oozes from every corner and hallway in this incredible school. I have been fortunate enough to enroll my child here since the early 2’s class all the way through pre-school and I thank my lucky stars for the experience we have had here. Your child is going to thrive here, they will be loved and nurtured by the teachers, to the administrators and all the way to the Director, Naomi (who leads this school as if every child was her own). Everyone here will know your name and your child’s name and become a part of your family. Your child will grow in ways you didn’t think were possible on an emotional level - they will be accepted for exactly who they are and nurtured according to what they need. I’ve had 3 years of absolute magic in this one of a kind place, and I am so grateful. Thank you to the incredible team at B’nai who brought so much goodness into our lives.

For those who know my family, you know we are great admirers of Judaism, even though we are not Jews. In the 2023 summer camp, my daughter had a great time at this school. As she liked it so much, I spoke to the director about enrolling her there for the school year. She told me that she would find a way to give me at least two days a week. But everything changed when I said that we weren’t Jews. She immediately said: “ I don’t know if there would be a place for your daughter this year or even next year. “ I was perplexed but let it go. This year I called to enroll my daughter in summer camp again and asked the attendant if there was room there and if registration was still open. She told me she had it and that it was still open. She asked my daughter's name and my name and asked for a moment. Then she got back on the phone and said she spoke to the director and that there would be no more room for this year. It was the second time that I felt my daughter was being discriminated against at this school. I think if my daughter is not Jewish, she is not welcome at this school by the director. This is sad, shameful and unacceptable.

Absolutely the best, most nurturing preschool environment I’ve seen! My son has been to 4 different schools and this one is the best. The warmth just emanates. The teachers and administrators truly love your kids. They work together with you to help your child grow and mature. Communication is great. I honestly have nothing bad to say!!
