JULIUS LESTER

enrolled at the UNITED
HEBREW SCHOOLS
nursery, 21550 W. 12 Mile,
Southfield, which has been in
existence for 37 years. The
self-supporting nursery
school leans toward Conser-
vative Judaism, but, accor-
ding to director Gale, the
school will accept Jewish kids
no matter their orientation.
Children age 18-months
through age 5 are accepted for
enrollment. The school offers
morning, afternoon and full-
day sessions and an optional
lunch program. Extended
hours also are available.
Children can participate in
individual or directed (group)
activities. In addition to
Shabbat and holiday obser-
vances, the children hear
speakers and in nice weather
can play outside in a sandbox,
on bicycles or in swimming
pools.
WORKMEN'S CIRCLE
counts 26 students in its
enrollment, the maximum for
which it is licensed. The
school offers morning and
afternoon sessions, with op-
tional lunch, and operates
Monday through Friday.
Children have free choice in
picking areas in which they
like to play, with teachers
nearby to supervise.
The school, located at 26341
Coolidge, Oak Park, offers
reading and math readiness
and teaches Jewish holidays
in a secular way, "without
God or miracles," according to
Amit. Established 22 years
ago, the school is supported
mainly by tuition and a sub-
sidy from the national
Workmen's Circle organiza-
tion. A Chanukah bazaar, the
school's only fund raiser, pro-
vides some funding.
TEMPLE BETH EL has
110 in its nursery, eight in its
certified kindergarten and 30
in its parent-toddler class.
Begun in 1973, the nursery is
supported solely by tuition.
Half-day options are
available, and there is an ex-
tra fee for extended care. A
gym room is included among
the regular nursery activities.
On Shabbat, the rabbis visit
the children. The school is
Reform oriented, and children
age 18 months through 6 are
accepted for enrollment.
"Very messy art projects"
are part of the TEMPLE
EMANU-EL Nursery School
curriculum, according to co-
director Michaelyn Silver- .
man. The five-day nursery,
which boasts an enrollment of
210, is in its sixth year of
opeation. Tuition keeps the
school self-supporting.
Families play a major role in
holiday and. Shabbat
observances.
