Programs and opportunities for families with young children

Tikvah Kids is our once-a-month, Sunday morning learn-and-play experience for children in Kindergarten through 2nd grade. Children learn the basics of Jewish life through arts and crafts, stories, and songs. Preregister for the year, which includes an open invitation to attend all temple events. Online registration, see our website.*

Tikvah Tots is a FREE monthly drop-in play space for younger children (ages 0-5), overlapping with Tikvah Kids for a simple craft or cooking activity. Parents hang out with one another while temple volunteers play with the kids.*
