We are more than a building!

​B’nai Simcha is a vibrant, mixed-age early childhood program that blends tradition with discovery, fostering a nurturing community where children thrive. Through the lens of Jewish values, the school creates a welcoming environment where children of different ages interact, learn from one another, and build meaningful relationships. This approach to mixed-age learning encourages older children to develop leadership skills and empathy as they guide and support their younger peers, while younger children gain confidence and motivation by observing and emulating the more advanced skills of their older friends. The program places a strong emphasis on hands-on materials exploration, allowing children to learn through sensory experiences that spark curiosity and creativity. By integrating social-emotional learning into daily activities, B’nai Simcha helps children understand and express their feelings, develop problem-solving abilities, and cultivate respectful relationships. Ultimately, the mixed-age setting strengthens the sense of community and interconnectedness, making each child an integral part of a dynamic learning family.

On January 7, we lost our beloved campus to the Eaton Fire. It was heartbreaking but we've relocated to All Saints Episcopal Church near downtown Pasadena. Across the street from City Hall, this beautiful location will be our home until our partner, Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center, rebuilds. We are more than a building, though, and our commitment to quality preschool education remains the same.
