Nierman Preschool

Nierman Preschool

Early childhood education is the most powerful educational experience our children can have. According to current research:

The first five years of life are a time of enormous growth of linguistic, conceptual, spiritual, and social competence. Experiences during these early years lay the foundation for a successful adult life. There is no question that the environment in which a child grows up has a powerful impact on how the child develops and what the child learns.

At the Nierman Preschool, we take the responsibility of helping to shape young lives very seriously. Our comprehensive, best practice early childhood programs conform to the highest standards of excellence found in the general field with the added dimension of fostering Jewish traditions, culture, and values while recognizing and respecting cultural differences.


  • We are a proud recipient of a "First 5" grant from the California Children and Families Act.
