Tinok (Baby) Time
Fridays Beginning April through March 16 | 9:15 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.
Tinok Time (or 'baby time' in Hebrew) is a program designed for children younger than two years old and their caregivers. The children will be introduced to the preschool experience in a fun and nurturing way by participating in free play, storytelling, music and movement, and art. Since we meet on Fridays, we serve challah and grape juice for snack to celebrate Shabbat (the Sabbath). Occasionally, we will also welcome special guests from the preschool or synagogue communities.
All are welcome to attend. Please join us! Click here for Registration form and fee information.
