Kochavim (Stars) is a fun and dynamic immersion-style Hebrew program for your 3-8 year old in a supplementary education setting (after-school). Youth play and learn in a Hebrew-speaking environment, using music, art, active games, stories, yoga, dance, computers, and drama. Kochavim is an amazingly positive way for children to gain second language skills while having fun with peers, laying a foundation of comfort and delight in Hebrew and Jewish environments that will last a lifetime. Nationally recognized for our innovative curriculum and excellent pedagogy, we now offer two locations, in East and West Portland.

Perspective from a Kochavim parent: "First off, my kids love the program. And as a parent, I love it too: learning Hebrew will open so many more opportunities for my children to engage positively with Judaism. Incidentally my parents were in town last week .... As professional educators, they were both frankly floored at how much the kids enjoyed Kochavim. They could not believe how excited the kids were to attend Kochavim after a full school day, especially our 5 year-old. They loved watching her run into the building and everyone saying hello to her and making her feel welcomed." |
One day per week, Hebrew music & play group for children ages 0-3 years old and their parents.

Notz'tzim (Sparkles) started as a younger-sibling program for Kochavim, and has developed into a successful and exciting program in its own rite. Parents and grandparents love the chance to bond with their tots (ages 0-4) in the engaging environment of Hebrew music and active play that Notz'tzim provides each week. Your enjoyment will match the delight of your young ones as they soak up a new language through music, instruments, balls, bubbles, and play. Our classes and the free cd that accompanies your registration for a year-long session will give you a treasury of songs to sing for all of the rituals of your day and year. From holiday songs to lullabyes, welcome songs to camp songs, you'll find that Notz'tzim is a fun and lovely way to start a child's Jewish learning.

From a Notz'tzim Parent: "Our whole family has loved Notz'tzim...Our son now loves singing all the Hebrew songs, in class and even out of the blue at home. It's really helped him get excited about up-coming holidays! My husband and I have also significantly benefited from Notz'tzim; we've learned Hebrew to use with our kids and broadened our own vocabulary. |
