As we enter our 15th year in our preschool, Spivak Hebrew Academy is growing and enhancing our preschool Program! We are saying goodbye to the Cubs, Ducks, and Pandas.
We are proud to introduce the…
חברים Chaverim (Friends) and כוכבים Kochavim (Stars)!
The Chaverim is our younger group, ages 2 years and 9 months through 3 years 11 months.
- Our Chaverim Program will introduce new incoming “friends” to our Spivak Family environment, which includes:
- Acclimating into a school setting
- Learning to socialize and communicate with peers and teachers
- Academic focuses on the Heggerty curriculum of Phonemic awareness, pre-reading and writing readiness, shapes, colors, number recognition (1-10)

The above skills will ensure the readiness of the children to move on to our next level program – the Kochavim, our older group, ages 4 years through 4 years 11 months. The Kochavim Program will build upon the skills gained in the Chaverim Program and ensure the school readiness for our shining stars prior to the start of their Elementary Level education. The program will include:
- Independence and Responsibility building through classroom jobs
