TBOP uses role modeling, active play, and discovery to teach our children about Jewish values, such as taking care of the Earth, giving tzedakah/charity, sharing with others, and being kind. In our halls and classrooms, you will hear a symphony of voices laughing, singing, playing, making plans, and engaging in sweet conversation.
We believe raising a child is a partnership with our school community involving parents, family and educators. We support our families and we take pride in the growth of their children. Parents also are welcome in the classroom at any time and play an active role in the life of the preschool. They participate in social and educational events as well as serve on the board of directors and volunteer committees.

Each Friday our students join our Music Director and one of our Rabbis for an exciting Shabbat service. This is a special time of the week the entire school comes together for exciting stories, fun songs and, of course, delicious challah. Our services are opened to parents and scheduled visitors of our school.
We are among 10% of childcare centers in the U.S. and 2% in North Carolina to earn the distinguished accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
We have proudly sustained an active relationship with Growing Together, a non-profit preschool that works with children living in public housing, since the early 1990’s. Through this partnership we teach our students the many wonderful ways of being a good friend to those in need.
