Kindergarten Comes to Life at B’nai Shalom’s Safari-Themed Sunday Funday
Future Kindergarten students experience a sneak peek of the WILD adventures that await them at B’nai Shalom Day School.
On Sunday, September 28, from 1:30 to 3:00 PM, B’nai Shalom Day School will open its doors to prospective families for a special Kindergarten preview event with a twist: a safari-themed “Sunday Funday.” The afternoon promises an engaging, hands-on introduction to the school’s Kindergarten program for both children and their families.
Designed to give families more than just an informational overview, the event brings the classroom experience to life through animal-themed learning stations, games, and activities that reflect the spirit and structure of a typical Kindergarten day at B’nai Shalom. Children will explore and play while parents meet the teachers who will guide them through this formative year.
Central to the program is Ms. Nancy Lance, a veteran educator who has been teaching Kindergarten at B’nai Shalom for over 20 years. Known for her calm presence, deep understanding of child development, and joyful approach to learning, Ms. Nancy has helped shape the early school experiences of generations of students. Joining her is Ms. Dani Luft, who teaches Hebrew and Judaics to Kindergarten and 1st grade students. Ms. Dani brings warmth, enthusiasm, and a rich knowledge of Jewish tradition, creating an environment where children connect meaningfully with Jewish identity from an early age.
“It’s one thing to hear about what makes our program special, but it’s another to experience it firsthand,” says Head of School Eva Turner. “Sunday Funday invites families into the heart of our Kindergarten experience and offers a window into the inspiring, whole-child education that continues through 8th grade.”
For families beginning to think about the transition to Kindergarten, this event offers a valuable glimpse into what lies ahead—and a chance to see what makes B’nai Shalom such a special place to grow.
