for life
Little Star is one of the leading Hebrew day schools in Staten Island. We create a vibrant environment for our students to flourish. We foster Jewish values and promote the highest quality secular and Jewish education in warm and friendly surroundings, as we know that a well-rounded child is a well-adjusted adult.
Designed with your child’s safety and well-being in mind, we are licensed by the NYC Department of Health. Our educator-designed facilities feature different centers which engage the whole child.
Our teachers meet the requirements of the NYCDOH. They are warm, caring, experienced and capable of bringing each child to his or her full potential.
Your child will receive an extensive Jewish education, by trained educators, learning the Hebrew alphabet and gaining an appreciation of our Jewish heritage.
In addition the New York State core curriculum, the children’s minds are stimulated by other fascinating topics such as current events and nature. Trips and special presentations add to our children’s understanding of the world around them.

At Little Star, we utilize center-based education to create a well-rounded curriculum. Each learning center is designed for hands-on learning, giving our students an enriched learning experience. Age-appropriate centers focused on varied skills enable each Little Star student to flourish and shine bright.
Early literacy is key. We introduce reading and writing through fun activities like alphabet games, tracing, and arts & crafts. Our goal is to foster a love of learning and prepare children for school success.
Math is more than numbers! It's about thinking and solving problems. Our program focuses on building strong math and science foundations through hands-on exploration, experiments, and critical thinking.
Learning starts with the basics! We help children develop essential skills through fun activities with shapes and colors, preparing them for future learning.
We offer a unique curriculum that immerses children in Jewish holidays, language, and values. Our goal is to give children a head start in their Hebrew studies and instill a deep appreciation for our rich heritage.
Some old-fashioned things like fresh air and sunshine are hard to beat. Our outdoor playground promotes physical activity, social skills, and a love of nature.
Imagination can take you anywhere, and at Little Star we let it do just that. We encourage creative and cooperative play to develop problem-solving, social, and emotional skills.
Our great team of skilled teachers are hand-picked for their warmth and professionalism. Each teacher is experienced and fully trained to give each student what they need to succeed. With a high teacher-to-student ratio, at Jewish Little Star Preschool, you’ll know your child is in good hands!
