Schools
We are privileged to have a wide range of preschool opportunities in our immediate neighborhood, from home daycare, to synagogue nurseries, to Hebrew immersion programs and even a traditional Jewish Montessori.
For day school, elementary and high schools there is also quite a variety in the reasonably commuted area, serving students from our neighborhood to those from out of state.
A selection of local area schools in Essex County include:
- Nursery only: The Lauren Elise Bier Nursery School is housed at Congregation AABJ&D in West Orange. Contact Aliza Maslansky, Early Childhood Director at alizam@aabjd.org or 973-736-1407 x215.
- Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy offers Nursery 3 and PreK through Middle School. The campus is located in Livingston.
- In Elizabeth, the Jewish Educational Center's Lower School offers Nursery through Middle School; RTMA for high-school-age girls, and RTMA for high-school-age boys.
