Greenwich’s Temple Sholom Selma Maisel Nursery School (SMNS) is a place where learning and discovery begin! Children benefit from an emergent curriculum based on their interests and needs in a nurturing classroom environment led by professional and experienced teachers and staff.

Our program includes part-day (1’s, 2’s, 3’s and 4’s), as well as full-day (infant/toddler through pre-school) options. We also offer Little Explorers and Little Tumblers as a non-separating introduction to pre-school for children between 1 to 2 years old, in addition to our Itsy Bitsy Playgroup for parents with infants/toddlers under 12 months.

At SMNS, we strive to stay on the cutting edge of early childhood education and have unique indoor learning spaces such as a dedicated STEAM lab, animal discovery room, gymnastics studio, and imagination playground to enhance our curriculum. Children enjoy taking trips outside to care for our garden, build in the wooden block center, and explore our child-size town and state-of-the art multi-level playground.

Kindergarten readiness is an important part of your child’s pre-school education at the Temple Sholom Selma Maisel Nursery School. Our team of educators take great pride in preparing children to succeed in their next chapter at public or private schools.

While guided by Jewish values, we welcome families of all faiths, ethnicities and backgrounds.

Children at SMNS enjoy the wonderful richness of Shabbat, Jewish holidays and traditions through music, stories and creative activities. We often draw on the resources of Temple Sholom’s clergy and professional staff, and all of our families are encouraged to participate in the Temple’s interactive programming, such as our monthly Together Shabbat.
