Preschool Mission

Our Mission

The mission of Temple Emanu-EL Preschool (TEPS) is to provide a positive educational setting of experiential activities that promote, teach, and instill age-appropriate developmental skills, academic readiness, social growth and Jewish culture, values knowledge and identity to any child who shows a readiness for our program.  

Here at TEPS, we foster the positive and joyful growth of our students! Our curriculum offers children a chance to explore their social and academic abilities in an environment which incorporates the culture and traditions of Judaism. Our trained professionals work with the Preschool students to actively work on kindergarten readiness such as the ABCs and 123s, as well as science, music, art, and more.

Our school is community-based and open to children of all faiths.
