Calendar

Events at Gan

From holiday celebrations and family programs to school events throughout the year, our calendar offers a window into daily life at Gan and the experiences that bring our community together.

Many Ways of Being Jewish. One Place to Grow Together.

Jewish Life & Community

No two families at Gan arrive the same way. Some have celebrated Shabbat for generations. Some are just beginning to explore Jewish life at home. Some are Israeli families for whom Hebrew is the language of everyday life. And some are interfaith families building new traditions together.

All of them choose Gan. And all of their children learn, celebrate, and grow side by side. Through songs, stories, holidays, and everyday routines, children experience Jewish life in many forms.

For families, those relationships are one of the unexpected gifts of Gan. Parents bring different experiences and perspectives, but share many of the same hopes for their children. Conversations that begin at drop-off often continue at birthday parties, Shabbat celebrations, and beyond.

Our New Home

A Building Designed For This Age

Starting Fall 2026, Gan moves to a newly renovated home at 60 Stein Circle purpose-built for children aged 12 months through Pre-Kindergarten.

Bright classrooms, outdoor spaces for movement and messy discovery, and a community small enough for teachers to know what makes each child laugh, what they're working on, and what they're excited about.
