The Alfred G. Rayner Learning Center was started in 1984 in an effort to provide daily care for infants and young children. Today the school has evolved into a day care and learning center for pre-kindergarten children.
The Center has two goals: First, to provide safe, quality, professional care and supervision of the infants and young children entrusted to the school. Second, to initiate the educational process by providing a foundation of values and techniques of learning appropriate material for each age group. The Learning Center emphasizes Judaism, its customs and culture.
Non-Jewish students are welcome to participate in this program, and their diverse backgrounds are respected. The Rayner Center is located at Beth Shalom Synagogue, but operates as an independent organization.
