About us
Who We Are:
Gan Hana is a trilingual Jewish early childhood center serving children from 3 months through age 4.5. Located in the heart of Dallas’s South Eruv, we provide a nurturing, structured environment where children are guided to grow intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. Our classrooms promote exploration, independence, and joyful learning, all supported by a warm and intentional team of educators. With daily exposure to Hebrew, English, and Spanish, our children build strong communication skills while developing a deep connection to their Jewish identity. Gan Hana is a vibrant, trusted space where families find both high-quality care and lasting community.
Our Philosophy and Mission:
At Gan Hana, we believe the early years are the foundation of confidence, character, and connection. Our mission is to provide exceptional education rooted in Torah values, individualized attention, and thoughtful structure. We use developmentally grounded methods inspired by the Montessori approach to encourage independence and hands-on discovery in a calm and purposeful setting. Children are nurtured as whole individuals and supported in becoming kind, capable, and proud of who they are. Our goal is to raise learners who love to explore, feel safe to express themselves, and grow with a sense of meaning and belonging.
Our Core Values
Living Judaism Joyfully
We center Jewish life not as a subject, but as a lived experience. From Shabbat and Chagim to daily brachot, davening, and songs, children are immersed in joyful, age-appropriate Jewish experiences that cultivate pride, love for Torah, and a strong Jewish identity.
Purposeful, Child-Led Education
Every aspect of our program is designed with purpose. Drawing from Torah values and developmentally informed practice, we honor each child's unique path through hands-on learning, language immersion, and thoughtfully structured exploration.
Safe, Loving Community
We are more than a school — we are a community where each child is seen, known, and cherished. Our spaces are warm, our caregivers intentional, and our commitment to safety unwavering. Families feel peace of mind knowing their children are nurtured with love and deep responsibility.
