Kindergarten at Denver JDS is an incredibly magical time where the classrooms are filled with learning and kindness and the kids are excited to come to school every day. The combination of Hebrew and Judaic Studies along with enriching general studies is a very unique balance. I absolutely love the community at Denver JDS, and I feel very lucky to teach here!
