San Diego Hebrew Day Preschool
Play-Based. Values-Driven. Ready for Kindergarten and Life.
A Word from Naomi Shakhman, Our Preschool Director:
“At Hebrew Day Preschool, children begin to explore the world through play, friendship, and discovery. These early moments—sharing meals, building together, learning side by side—are the foundations of connection, community, and Jewish life.
We nurture each child’s natural curiosity in a warm, play-based environment that supports their emotional, social, and cognitive development.
I’m proud to work alongside a team of courageous, devoted teachers who treat every child like their own and create a space where children feel safe, seen, and inspired to grow.”
