Directors Message
Rivka Wineberg
Hi! I’m Rivka Wineberg, director of City Gan Preschool of LIC
Our Story
After establishing the JCC-Chabad of LIC 17 years ago, my husband and I felt the need to create a preschool rooted in Jewish values and education. City Gan was born from my passion for instilling confidence, independence, and a strong sense of self in young children.
Our Approach
Beyond a nurturing environment, we believe even the youngest learners benefit from a well-rounded education. We consult experts, attend conferences, and carefully select loving, dedicated teachers to ensure each child thrives—socially, emotionally, and academically. Regular staff meetings help us continuously elevate our curriculum.
Parent Partnership
As a mom of six, I know how powerful parental involvement is! We offer special opportunities for parents to engage in their child’s learning, fostering pride, happiness, and overall success. A happy child is a thriving child!
Looking Ahead
As we grow, we remain committed to a warm, close-knit environment where every child is cherished. We’re always enhancing our program and welcome parent feedback to ensure each child’s happiness and success!
