Oy its True! Jewish Education Rocks in Koreatown
Families in Downtown LA, Hancock Park, Hollywood, Silverlake, Los Feliz, The Grove, and West Adams rejoice! It’s true…there is a stellar Reform Jewish nursery school and elementary school in your vicinity…and its gorgeous! Wilshire Boulevard Temple the city’s oldest congregation and home to one of the largest congregations of Reform Jews in the country. It is also home to one of the top Jewish nursery schools and elementary schools in the area. If you haven’t had a chance to stop-in and tour the campus you should! Now is the time to think about applying next Fall.
The Early Childhood Centers, run by Director Carol Bovill, are nurturing environments offering Jewish values and education to young children and their families. They are a place where adults and children thrive in an atmosphere of friendship, curiosity, self-esteem, Jewish identity, joy, and respect. A family where the talents and needs of all are fully recognized.
Brawerman Elementary School, run by Head of School, Nadine Breuer, is a Reform Jewish School with the highest academic standards where students learn Jewish values, personal responsibility, a contemporary understanding of our Torah tradition, Hebrew, and the relationship of the Jewish people to Israel.
And in case you didn’t know, Wilshire Boulevard Temple is also home to a fantastic Parenting Center where they offer Mommy & Me programs starting at age 0 – 24 months. There is also a terrific Grandparent & Me course for ages 1 – 3 years and a Shabbat class for ages 1.5 – 2.5 years. Not to be missed are the Coffee with Carol monthly parenting sessions led by Director Carol Bovill that include topics such as Toilet Training, Time for Me and The Balance Between Staying Safe and Being Friendly. For details about classes or to receive a schedule of upcoming Coffee with Carol visit the WBTLA.ORG site.

My kids are at the pre-school and we love it! The teachers are nurturing and fun! The community is amazingly kind and thoughtful. It’s an wonderful place for your child’s early education.
I ADORE Wilshire Blvd. Temple and the Brawerman campuses. The assistant head of the elementary (west campus?), Maxine Keith, is an amazing educator and administrator. The temple itself is gorgeous – glad you brought some attention to it.
