Discover your child’s other happy place
A Jewish Montessori school for children ages 18 months to 12 years
Why Alef Bet Montessori?
We Emphasize More than Just Academics
We focus on curiosity, independence, compassion, collaboration, and critical thinking.
...but the Academics are a Huge Strength
Our curriculum presents skills at the time when children are most ready to learn.
We're a Community
We view our relationship with you as a partnership, working together for the benefit of your child.
We Meet Children Where They Are
We allow each child to move and learn at their own pace. We know that learning is not linear, and that children are not ready to learn specific skills according to an adult-prepared timeline, or in perfect harmony with their peers. Kids who need more support with certain skills get that support, and those who are ready to move ahead are able to find the challenges they crave.

The Latest from Our Blog
Today, we gathered as a community to celebrate two remarkable events: Yom Ha'atzmaut and our Kindergarten Graduation . The joy and pride on our children’s faces as they performed and looked out at the room filled with parents and grandparents will be a cherished memory for years to come. The ceremony began with delightful performances from each class. Our students sang heartfelt songs, and we even spotted some great dancers there, showcasing their talents and enthusiasm for this special day.. Following these wonderful performances, we proceeded with the graduation ceremony. Each Kindergarten graduate received their certificate, marking a significant milestone in their young lives. The excitement and happiness in the room were palpable as each child was recognized for their hard work and achievements. After the ceremony, we engaged in a meaningful project titled "Wall of Hope." Each child, alongside their parents, colored a "תקווה" (Hope) picture. These beautiful artworks will adorn a wall in our school, symbolizing our collective hope for a better future. Our school is proud to be part of an international initiative, sending some of these paintings to Israel to contribute to a global Wall of Hope. This project is especially significant in these times, reminding us all of the power of unity and shared aspirations for peace. Following the creative session, our children enjoyed a delicious Israeli lunch, featuring falafel, Israeli salad, hummus, tahini, and pita. The smiles and laughter during lunch were a testament to the fun and joy of the day. To our graduating Kindergarteners: We wish you a future filled with endless possibilities and success. Always remember the joy of today and the love that surrounds you. To Israel, on its 76th Yom Ha'atzmaut: We celebrate with hearts full of hope and pride, wishing for continued growth, peace, and prosperity. Enjoy the wonderful pictures from today’s event below. They capture the spirit and happiness that filled our school. Thank you for being part of this special day and for helping us create lasting memories and a hopeful future for our children.
We believe in fostering an environment where our students not only excel academically but also grow into compassionate and well-rounded individuals. As part of our commitment to nurturing cultural awareness and understanding, we observed today Yom Hazikaron, the Day of Remembrance in Israel, in a meaningful way. We wanted to share with you a special moment that occurred during this observance. Moreh Or took the initiative to impart some knowledge about Israel's history and his personal experiences serving in the military to the Elementary class. The children were captivated by his storytelling and showed a genuine curiosity, asking insightful questions that sparked enlightening discussions. You may wonder why it's important for our young students to be exposed to such topics, especially concerning military service and remembrance. Firstly, understanding the history and culture of Israel helps broaden our children's worldview, fostering empathy and respect for diverse perspectives. Secondly, discussing topics like Yom Hazikaron provides an opportunity to instill values of honor, sacrifice, and remembrance in our students, values that transcend borders and cultures. Moreover, by educating our children about Israel's story, we aim to nurture their love for Israel and empower their Judaism. By connecting them to their heritage and the rich tapestry of Jewish history, we provide them with a strong foundation upon which they can build their identities and values. We want to assure you that the discussion was conducted with sensitivity and age-appropriate language, ensuring that the children felt comfortable expressing their thoughts and emotions. Moreh Or skillfully navigated the conversation, creating a safe space for learning and reflection. As parents, we understand that topics like military service and remembrance can be sensitive. However, we believe that open dialogue and education are essential in shaping informed and compassionate individuals. By engaging our students in discussions about Israel's history and traditions, we empower them to become global citizens who appreciate the importance of honoring the past while striving for a better future.
