Testimonials

Adam and Dorothy Levinson

City Gan came into our lives and they’ve never been the same. The intimate teachers, commitment to meeting each student where they are, and deep partnership with parents made City Gan the perfect place for our son to thrive. Our son needed the right support to advance - how Rivka and Rochel and the teachers worked with us to ensure we navigated his needs- we knew he was accepted and loved. Every day they championed him with us!

For him, this not only unlocked his development — it also meant his Jewish pride is entwined with his confidence and sense of self. We can’t recommend City Gan enough, it’s been the cornerstone of our family as we continue to grow.

We first toured Citygan preschool five years ago during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when our oldest son was just two years old. Since then, we have watched our son graduate Citygan and two of our younger children enroll and thrive within the Citygan community.

At Citygan our children are immersed in learning about Jewish values, holidays, and lifecycle events. They enjoy daily playtime and develop creativity through the thousands of unique projects they pursue with their incredible morahs (teachers). Our children regularly benefit from amazing and fun experiences like trips to the local library and outdoor time—regardless of the weather.

We highly recommend Citygan to any family seeking more than just a school. For us, Citygan is an indispensable part of our lives; it has become our community here in LIC, a place where we spend holidays, celebrate birthdays, volunteer, and grow together. We cannot imagine our lives here in LIC without the Citygan.

Joseph and Noy Mizrahi

Our older son has been attending City Gan for over two years now, and our youngest joined him recently after he turned one. City Gan has been more than just a school for our family - it has been a second home for our children, and a warm and welcoming community for us as parents. Our children are so happy to return each Monday, and we know that we leave them in loving and caring hands. The teachers are committed to filling the children’s days with fun and enriching activities, as well as supporting their social-emotional needs as they progress through their developmental journey. They partnered with us on every important milestone, from weaning off pacifiers to toilet training, helping us navigate being first time parents so we felt confident each step of the way. Our sons love learning about the Jewish holidays and take great pride in showing off any songs and stories they learn with the family. Rivkah, Kelly, and the staff are incredibly flexible, communicative, and are always willing to help with anything we need. We have been so happy with this choice and would pick City Gan again in a heartbeat!
