About the Preschool
The Bill and Sid Rubin Preschool is open to children 12 months to 5 years of age and is open to the community. It offers the very best in early childhood education providing a program rich in Jewish culture, tradition and values. The program accommodates approximately 100 students, with two-, three-
and five-day programs as well as child care before and after classes. For more information, contact Tammy
Vener, Early Childhood Education Director, at 858-535-1144 ext. 3120.
Congregation Beth Israel first demonstrated its commitment to early childhood
education when it established the Sid Rubin Preschool in 1977. We provide an
environment that helps children successfully separate from home and transfer
trust from family to school. This is accomplished with nurturing love and attention
to the developmental needs of very young children in a program rich in Jewish
culture, tradition and values.

Grandparents Shabbat Was a Great Success
On November 2, the gates to the building opened and 100 grandparents filled the foyer of our school. The morning started with coffee, bagels and shmoozing. Many people were surprised to see old friends who also had children in the preschool.
The grandparents were escorted to their grandchildren's classrooms where they spent time reading stories, doing art and playing with their grandchildren. Shabbat in the Foster Family Chapel was a highlight. The grandparents had an opportunity to experience Shabbat with their grandchildren. Cantor Bernstein, Rabbi Berk and Rabbi Ettman led us in a joyous celebration with music, dancing, story telling and the blessings. We look forward to this day each year!go to top
Preschool Picnickers Get A Taste of the New School Year
Preschool families gathered together in September to meet teachers, visit new classrooms and picnic with friends. It was great to have everyone back to school! The preschool playground was buzzing with excitement as all the children picnicked, played and got ready for a great year of preschool.

Embrace a Family
Each year our preschool adopts seven families, one for each class, throuh Jewish Family Service's Embrace a Family program. We are given the family profile, and the parents and children from each class create a special holiday package for their family. One of our primary goals in the preschool is to begin the teaching of mitzvot and tzedakah. We always try to create projects that are meaningful even to the smallest child. Our children help make cards and wrap the presents.
