of Congregation Agudas Achim
  • We offer a comprehensive early childhood Judaica program emphasizing Jewish concepts such as tzedakah and tikkun olam, Jewish identity and Jewish holidays.

  • Children participate in weekly Shabbat and Havdalah programs.

  • Studies show that a Jewish preschool experience enhances Jewish life for children and their families.
  • When children are exposed very young to holidays and Jewish principles, they grow up loving it.

  • Member children develop an early affiliation to the synagogue, Rabbi Bitran and Hazzan Lipton, giving them an advantage when transitioning to IPRS Religious School.

  • Our warm, nurturing environment with a low ratio of children to staff enables teachers to focus on each child’s individual needs and interests.

  • We offer weekly enrichments; including music class, Israeli dance and Spanish.

  • Our secular curriculum stresses language arts, music, movement, crafts and fine motor skills.

  • More than 15 hours of professional development workshops/classes each year are provided to our teachers; including workshops with Rabbi Bitran, Hazzan Lipton and other Jewish ritual experts.

  • HPS graduates are ready to enter kindergarten with confidence!


What Parents are Saying:


I can think of no greater endorsement of an educational institution than entrusting all four of your children to it in their most formative years. Our oldest son was a member of the first graduating class at Heintz Pre-School. We anticipate all four of our children will attend the School, a total of 11 student school years. Heintz Pre-School is the perfect combination of intimate size, a quality facility, a Jewish based educational program and a nurturing and caring faculty and administration. The fact that the entire staff personally knows our children and is focused on their educational and emotional development during those important pre-school years is all that one can ask of a school. We strongly endorse and support the Heintz Pre-School at Agudas Achim.

Our experience at the Preschool has been nothing short of the most wonderful years for our two boys. The staff is so nurturing and accommodating that I couldn’t be happier leaving our boys every day in their care.

Transitioning my son from Heintz Preschool to the Eleanor Kolitz Academy was so easy. A solid Jewish foundation had already been laid at Heintz Preschool and he quickly adapted to the Kolitz Academy curriculum. Rituals and Judaica learned at Heintz Preschool continue to play an important part of my son’s life.
