Gan Shalom Returns for 25-26 School Year!

Gan Shalom is an engaging program being offered at WJC once a month on Wednesday afternoons from 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm beginning in September 2025. We welcome all WJC children including ECC children enrolled in the 3s and 4s program (member and non-member) and Religious School children in Gan (Kindergarten). We are thrilled to have ECC teachers, Naomi Feuerstein along with Amanda Netti, return this year to our Gan Shalom program.

Each month Gan Shalom will focus on creating connections between our ECC and RS communities while learning about Jewish holidays, values, and customs. Families (fee the same for members and non-members) will be charged $100 per child for 7 sessions or $20 per child per session when signing up before the day of class. Families will be charged $30 per child for each session if they “drop-in” to the class. Gan Shalom will meet from 3:30- 5:00 pm on the following dates:

The staff partner together to provide the children many opportunities to learn and grow. The parents are true partners with us in their children’s education. I look forward to nurturing the curious young students in the Gan Shalom class.
