It felt like our son was always safe and cared for. The administration were essential in helping us get early intervention for our son. It was especially wonderful having Jewish celebrations for our family and very affirming for our household. Wholeheartedly recommend Beth Shalom ELC.

Beth Shalom ELC is a loving, nurturing, play-based learning center for infants through Pre-K. Both…read moreof my children graduated from this center after starting at 11 weeks old, and got the very best start in life. They were beyond prepared for Kindergarten, knowing how to read basic sight words, write and do basic-age appropriate math. The center has lovely science, music, and art specialists that provide enriching experiences to complement lessons provided by the classroom teachers. The large gym full of bikes, scooters, balls, etc. and outdoor playgrounds are perfect for developing and enhancing gross-motor skills. The educators and directors truly care about my child's well-being and the community is warm and welcoming. This is really the place to be.

My family and I love Adat Shalom Preschool because of the small class sizes, caring teachers and…read moresupportive community of families. Both of my children attended the school over the past few years. My son started when he was just 15 months old and will go into the Pre-K program this year, and my daughter just completed her first year of Kindergarten. She entered completely prepared academically and socially and we received excellent feedback from her teacher about her preparedness, largely due to Adat Shalom Preschool. Both kids have very different personalities and learn in their own special ways. And both have received excellent care and education at Adat Shalom. The teachers truly care about each child and help them to develop skills, create connections and have fun. The families come from many different cultural and religious backgrounds, helping to create a diverse learning environment. Personally, I really enjoy that the school lets parents to be very involved in school activities and events. It has allowed me to foster my own friendships and be a part of my children's education. Practically, I also like that there are various scheduling options so I could craft the experience in the way that made the most sense for each of my kids. If you are looking for a preschool with nurturing teachers and a kind community of families, you should definitely consider Adat Shalom Preschool!

This is not a good place for sensitive, introverted or typical pre-schoolers that are not born into…read morethe community. The director and pre-school teaching staff are insensitive to any disruptions that do not come from well funded members of the flock. We fought all year, attending classes, getting assessments only for the school to request we remove out children with a month to go. DO NOT trust them with your child if the child shows any original personality. They will try to crush it, leaving parents to build the kids back up.

This is a fantastic school system…read more I have three students in the system: two at Jefferson Middle and one at the High School. I am very pleased with the leadership, the facilities, the programs (especially fine-arts/music), and especially the TEACHERS. These are professional teachers. They are dedicated, they treat my kids with respect, and they set great examples. They often show up at after-hours extracurricular-events, something they are not paid to do and do not have to do, but in doing so, help the kids feel what they are doing matters and is important. My family chose Mt. Lebanon among pretty much all Pittsburgh-area communities (via corp. relo) expressly because of the research we did on schools. We have not been disappointed. In fact, my experience so far (two years in) has exceeded my expectations.

Let me start off by saying this is the best daycare in the brookline area. Ms. Tina and Ms. Linda…read moreis what I consider top tier. My child has been attending since the day they opened their doors, she is treated like family from the time she arrives until I pick her up. I've never experienced an issue, the communication is number 1. They even do quality care checks to make sure your child is thriving at home. They make it so easy that all you have to do is drop your child off. They provide nutritional food choices, diapers and wipes. If your looking for a nice clean quality daycare please look into them. I promise you won't be disappointed.

I knocked regularly the first time then 10mins later knocked a littler harder to make sure they heard me. We also had an incident where my kids (2 boys age 3 and 5) came home in the same diappers/pull ups they had on when they were dropped off. They were their 8.5 hrs and wasn't changed once! The teacher has now been doing petty things ever since I asked her about my kids being in the same diappers. She calls and says they need picked up for "rashes" (we went to the doctor and was confirmed it wasn't a rash) ect. Just very unprofessional on how they treat the parents and some child neglect happening there. Wouldn't take your children there!!!
