The Dailey Method® is a unique combination of ballet barre work, core conditioning, stretching, and orthopedic exercises. This challenging one-hour class effectively strengthens, tones and lengthens the entire body. Light weights are utilized to define
the upper body while mat and ballet barre work target the thighs, seat and abdominals. After each muscle group is worked, through high repetition using a small range of motion, it is alternately stretched to lengthen the muscles. For more information, please visit us at www.thedaileymethod.com

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.
