We are so glad that you want to spend your summer vacation with us!
The BHS Preschool Summer Program features qualified, caring teachers and fully equipped preschool classrooms. Children enjoy neighborhood playground trips, and special guests, and local outings, along with plenty of time to play and learn in our air-conditioned classrooms, and participate in lots of outdoor water play, too!

A BHSP tradition! Campers will invent games and challenges, hop in the bouncy castle, and enjoy cotton candy as we celebrate the end of an amazing summer together..
SUMMER TWOs
Summer Twos is primarily for students who have enrolled in our preschool for Fall 2026. The program gives our in-coming students a chance to make friends and become familiar with the school before they even start!
Information will go out on Friday, February 27, 2026.
How many Summer Twos?
We have 2 groups of Summer Twos with about 8-10 children per group. Each class has 3 teachers.
Who can come to Summer Twos?
We prioritize our incoming students and after a first registration process will invite others to register, too, if there is space.
Who will the teachers be?
Our summer sessions are staffed with BHSP teachers.
When does it meet?
June 23 – July 30 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:15am to 11:30am
Where will the Summer Twos play?
The Summer Twos will have a sprinkler and water table to allow lots of water play and splashing on our hot summer days. Twos will also use our indoor, air-conditioned gym and of course their classroom.
What else will they do?
Summer Twos will play, enjoy some special visitors like Super Soccer Stars and some yoga and music, enjoy snacks, play outside in our sprinkler and water table, try out some art projects, cooking, do story times, and much more!
Can I leave? Do I have to leave?
It is just fine either way! We ask that you be patient as teachers guide you or your caregiver and your child through gentle separation. Summer Twos is about enjoying the classroom and making some friends from next year’s class. Having a great, relaxed summer experience is the most important thing!
Are snacks provided?
Yes! (And since we are not here on Fridays, challah and frozen grape juice “Shabbatsicles” on Thursdays!)
What if it is hot or rainy?
If it is too hot or we have bad weather, the Summer Twos simply play in our air-conditioned classrooms
What does gentle separation mean?
Gentle separation is the process of helping a young child make the transition to knowing and trusting a new teacher and saying goodbye to a parent or familiar caregiver at school. It involves going at a child’s pace. While we know that your child will never love to say goodbye to you, he or she can find the experience minimally stressful given a phase-in period to become comfortable with the new teacher and classroom. This process may be very quick for one child, and longer for another. Teachers in a gentle separation process are using the first few sessions of class to help a child build some positive associations with school, and are also becoming increasingly familiar with what they may particularly enjoy! Teachers consider a child ready for full separation, and done with the phasing-in process, when they can accept some comfort or distraction from a teacher when feeling unsure about the departure of a familiar, loved adult.
Is potty training required?
Absolutely not. Send along diapers and wipes. (Getting started or in the middle of potty training? Let us know! We are happy to partner with you!)
What about my even younger child?
Keep an eye out for outdoor play times where you can drop in to have some of the BHS experience! We particularly look forward to Sunshine Shabbats on Friday mornings!
