Our vision and passion is to deliver a high level of care while providing a stimulating learning environment - offering an integrated programme of Jewish, Hebrew and general experiences to our students within the Jewish community.
Our aim is to provide a secure, happy and loving environment where every child can develop at his or her pace their intellectual, social, emotional, and physical skills to become a competent individual.

At KaTeeny we water and nurture our little plants to grow as upright, thoughtful, and empowered individuals who take pride in their Jewish identity and play an important part in society.
