Temple Sinai Preschool

Temple Sinai Preschool is a nurturing developmental, play-based Jewish preschool with an outstanding faculty, strong parent involvement and low student/teacher ratio. A program of Temple Sinai reform synagogue, TSP is located near Summit Hospital just north of downtown Oakland.

“Temple Sinai Preschool is phenomenal - in so many ways! …the teachers are amazing. I have personally learned a lot from them! …. The director is so devoted and makes it a priority to get to know each and every child. I can't think of a more nurturing place, but also a place where a kid gets to be a kid. They have wonderful enrichment activities, regular visits from the Rabbis and the cantor … my child wakes up every weekend asking if he can go to preschool that morning”. ~Berkeley Parents Network.
