About this preschool

Gan Malibu is a Community Infant Center & Preschool in Malibu serving ages 3 months to 5 years with a Jewish values-based curriculum. The school emphasizes intentional, experiential learning through open-ended exploration, creativity, and social-emotional development.

Philosophy
Jewish values drive the school culture, community environment and curriculum. Through mitzvoth (good deeds) and middot (acts of kindness) we model and encourage kindness, respect, compassion, confidence and responsibility. Children are viewed as collaborators in their education—creative, competent, curious and inquisitive. Gan Malibu believes in an intentional and experiential approach to learning that encourages development as children explore their environment and express themselves through natural modes of expression like verbal, physical, art and music.
