ABOUT US

Temple Shalom Nursery School (TSNS) is a play-based, nature-rich early childhood program serving children ages 18 months to 5 years. Rooted in Jewish values—community, kindness, respect, curiosity, and justice—we create a warm, inclusive environment where children, families, and educators thrive.

Our summer program brings all of this to life in a joyful, outdoor-centered camp experience.

OUR PROGRAM EMPHASIZES
  • Outdoor learning and play every day
  • Nature-based exploration (gardening, water play, animals)
  • Child-led, play-based experiences
  • Creativity, connection, and summer joy
  • Strong, supportive team culture

  • Experience with young children preferred (for educator roles)
  • Enthusiasm, responsibility, and a willingness to learn
  • Comfort being outdoors for much of the day
  • Strong teamwork and communication skills

WHY TSNS FOR THE SUMMER?
