Hebrew School, which is held on Sundays, begins September 9. It is now enrolling new students for the coming school year.

The Shaloh House Preschool & Kindergarten has a new infant's room - the only program like it in any Jewish educational institution in the Greater Metro South Area.

Many new families used the open house as an opportunity to visit the state-of-the-art classrooms and chat with staff members and other current families. 

The infant's class has created much excitement and attracted a lot of interest in the community.

Children enjoyed the moon bounce and other recreational equipment at the Shaloh House playground (take a look at pictures from the BBQ/open house in the media gallery).

For more information on the Preschool or the Hebrew School or any other educational and outreach program at Shaloh House, please visit www.shalohhouse.com or call 781 344-6334.
