Jewish American Heritage Month

Posted By admin on May 30, 2024

Three years ago, Lamplighters Preschool opened its doors in Royal Oak, offering a fresh and innovative approach to early childhood education for Jewish families throughout Detroit.

As the only Reggio Emilia-inspired Jewish preschool in the city, Lamplighters a department of the Royal Oak Chabad headed by Rabbi Moishie and Mushky Glitsenstein has quickly become a beacon of progressive Jewish education, emphasizing creativity, community and cultural pride.

At Lamplighters, children are encouraged to express themselves through art, play and hands-on activities, fostering academic skills and a deep connection to their Jewish heritage.

We believe every child is capable and full of potential, says Mushky Glitsenstein, the schools director and founder. Our approach respects and harnesses the natural curiosity of children, guiding them to explore their Jewish identity in meaningful and personal ways.

Lamplighters is not just about teaching Jewish customs and traditions; its about making them meaningful and relevant to the childrens lives. Our goal is to give the kids a positive association with Judaism, Glitsenstein says.

The Glitsensteins credit the schools success to its great staff. The dedicated teachers grant the students a well-rounded education, as well as skills to deal with conflict and emotional regulation.

One of the highlights of the school year is the annual art auction, a vibrant event where families and friends gather to admire and purchase artwork created by the children themselves. The art auction is a wonderful culmination of our year, she says. Its not only a chance to showcase the childrens hard work and creativity but also an opportunity to bring our community together and support the school.

Proceeds from the auction benefit Lamplighters educational programs and maintain their commitment to providing an exceptional learning experience.

Lamplighters Art Auction will be held on Sunday, June 2, 10:30 a.m. at The Norwood, 6531 Woodward Ave. Detroit. For more information, visit http://www.lamplighterspreschool.com/artauction.
