ho We Are
RENANIM is our name. In Hebrew "Renanim" means happiness. We offer an excellent preschool education in an atmosphere of happiness and joy for children 18 months to 6 years old. We started in Israel and now operate in Manhattan and in Riverdale. With over 45 years of experience, we have a lot to offer your child.

RENANIM provides a caring, nurturing and stimulating environment where your child will learn through developmentally appropriate activities. We strive to build confidence and self-esteem, fostering active learning through exploration and inquiry. Our classes are organized according to age. While the programs for the younger children differ from those for the older children, the curriculum for all of the children is designed to encourage them to participate in creative activities, and activities that promote language and speech.

Our primary focus with our youngest children is to enable them to deal with their separation and foster their socialization and initiation into nursery school. As the children become more mature, we continue to assist them in developing their social skills and begin to assist them in acquiring language and speech skills in conjunction with early literacy.

We prepare the children in our oldest class to enter and succeed in the kindergarten of their choice. Many children take the ERB's, the screening test for entry into private schools. Our curriculum provides them with the necessary skills to do well on this test.
