Our Program at TLCC
Since 1988, Tree of Life Children's Center at Temple Beth Israel (formerly Temple Beth Israel Preschool) has been serving families with children 2 years to 5 years of age from cities throughout the Inland Valley. TBI Preschool is licensed by the California Department of Social Services, affiliated with the Bureau of Jewish Education.
Tree of Life Children's Center in Pomona, California is open to the community and conveniently serves Claremont, Pomona, Upland, La Verne, and surrounding communities. We welcome all families of all backgrounds and faiths, with enrollment preference given to current students, siblings, and members of the Temple Beth Israel congregation.
Our preschool provides a fun-filled, play-based learning environment designed to promote social, emotional, physical and cognitive growth. We also maintain a low teacher-child ratio, which fosters a high-quality nurturing atmosphere. Children of all ages are actively engaged and learning in a creative and developmentally appropriate way.
We invite you to visit our early childhood program. At Tree of Life Children's Center you will notice:
