Where little steps make big stories and hugs are what count

Gan Torah is a Jewish Early Education Center in the heart of Brighton, offering children ages 15 months to 4 a play-based, nurturing environment with a strong home-school connection that fosters developmentally-appropriate growth and learning.

Wonder awaits!

Experience the joy of Jewish learning

Our Morahs infuse every day with the joy and beauty of Judaism by making yamim tovim, Shabbos, and daily mitzvos come alive for your child. Through song, storytelling, and hands-on activities, your child will develop a strong foundation of excitement and lifelong love of Judaism.

Discover a home away from home

We create a nurturing, loving atmosphere that feels like a true extension of your home. Our Morahs shower your child with warmth and care, making them feel safe, cherished, and supported as they grow and thrive each day—all while keeping you closely connected through constant communication and updates.

Be prepared for big discoveries

In our play-based, developmentally rich classrooms, your child will explore, create, and grow with curiosity and confidence. From discovering the wonders of the natural world to solving puzzles and building friendships, every moment is an opportunity to learn through hands-on, sensory experiences.

A rainbow of learning spaces, designed for discovery

Calling all puddle jumpers and cloud watchers

Designed for little explorers

Each classroom is color-coded – follow the yellow room, peek into the blue room, or skip down to the green room – creating a sense of belonging and independence for even our littlest people.

Where “little” fits just right

Custom-sized furniture at just the right height lets toddlers climb safely into chairs, reach toys independently, and gather around tables made just for them. Cozy benches with soft cushions invite snuggle time with books, while spacious play areas with cozy carpets give busy bodies room to move and explore.

Crafted with care

Every detail, from child-height sinks in bathrooms to easily accessible cubbies for coats and backpacks, was designed with your little one's growing independence in mind. The result? A warm, vibrant space that feels both exciting and secure – the perfect environment for young children to learn, play, and thrive.

Rest Time

There’s something so special about the peaceful moments during nap time, when the children rest after a busy morning. Watching them wake up refreshed, cuddling them as they get ready to play again—it’s a sweet and rewarding part of the day.

Outside Play

My favorite part of the day is taking the children outside to run, explore, and let out their energy. Whether they’re riding on toys or searching for bugs, it’s wonderful to see their curiosity and excitement.

Lead Morah, full day

I love every part of the day, but circle time is my favorite! During our davening circle, I sing good morning to each child, and their faces light up when I sing their names. In our learning circle, we explore topics like Parsha, Chaggim, and seasons—their excitement and eagerness to absorb every word is amazing

Seeing the joy that comes from play and group activities is the highlight of my day. Whether it's singing during davening, playing with the toy kitchen and foods or watching the birds outside together, it's amazing to see even our youngest children engage, grow, and find happiness together.
