Yaldaynu is a child and family-centered school, defined by its warm and nurturing environment. We encourage intellectual, emotional, physical and social growth, and Yaldaynu families are an integral part of this process. Our "neighborhood school" atmosphere promotes friendships between families that continue long after children have moved on.
The Hebrew word Yaldaynu ("our children") reflects the school's philosophy; to cultivate a Jewish identity and Jewish values in a supportive, developmentally appropriate way. Children are introduced to Shabbat, the Jewish holidays and Israel through art, music, cooking and stories.

About Us
Report
Yaldaynu Preschool, founded in 1982, is located in Ansche Chesed synagogue. We have a rich curriculum and a close-knit family community. Our program fosters the development of our students as they explore the world around them through art, music, stories, dance and, most importantly, play. We also incorporate the community around us into the lives of our students.
Our History
Report
Yaldaynu was established in 1982 by four families who, after searching for a Jewish preschool that satisfied their needs on Manhattan's Upper West Side, thought, "We can do better." They applied for a grant from the UJA-Federation to open a new school, and with their award, Yaldaynu Preschool was born.
