Families, friends and supporters
of Lamplighters Preschool gath-
ered together at The Eastern

ever Art Auction, a chance to
celebrate and honor their chil-

about the school.
Lamplighters is a Reggio-
inspired Jewish preschool,
approaching its third year with
a rapidly growing number of
applicants per year.
Most well-known for its
unique, child-led philosophy
with a strong focus on each
individual child, Lamplighters
aims to foster better mental
health for our children, starting
from the youngest of ages.
At Lamplighters, the children
and families learn to enjoy and
celebrate their Judaism through
forming their own unique con-
nection to it.
Marla, Adam, Asher and Leora
Janke pose for a picture.
