Admissions

Admissions Process

STEP 1: Please Fill Out an Application We accept applications any time after your child is born, from both Congregation Emanu-El synagogue members and non-members. Members are given priority in admissions decisions.

STEP 2: Take a Preschool Tour See the schedule and sign up here (required for consideration)
Tours will be held from October through December. Please note that we are currently scheduled to host in-person tours this year, however, this is dependent on the COVID situation as we continue to evaluate what is most safe for our children, families and overall community. We will notify you if we have to move our tours to Zoom as we did last year. We invite parents of children to attend a tour. This will give you the opportunity to visit the classrooms and facilities and will allow you to feel what our preschool is like. Tours are led by our Sr. Director of Early Childhood Education, accompanied by a member of the clergy, and a Parent Association representative.

If you have questions, please contact the preschool office, (415) 751-2541 x118.

STEP 3: Enroll Acceptance and wait list letters are mailed to families in early March.

Your application will be taken into consideration for potential admission provided that your child is between 2 years and 5 years 4 months old by the time of their enrollment. Tours are given during the months of October through February prior to the fall term.
