St. Thomas Pre School vs. Bnos Yisroel

The Brown Memorial Weekday School was founded in 1962 by four members of the Brown Memorial congregation.

Its purpose, to serve the families of the greater Baltimore community.

The church has sheltered the school through many changes and continues to do so today.

Church and school together make up the community that is Brown Memorial Woodbrook and service to the community is still its purpose.This year will mark our 50th anniversary, we invite you to celebrate with us. Our Mission is to see that every child in our care is seen, heard and appreciated for the unique individual that they are.

Our goal is to create the best possible experience for each child, fostering curiosity and a love of learning that will last a lifetime. Parents are important and are encouraged to be involved, not only in the parent association but also by sharing a story or a holiday practiced in their faith tradition.

Parents have unique gifts and much to offer to our community. Lifetime friendships begin in our parent/child program and are reinforced while waiting outside the classroom for dismissal.

Play dates and shared picnics on the hill after school enable parents to form relationships that strengthen each family. Faculty and parents help one another in the important task of mentoring children to be their best selves.

We hope to build community as we support children and their families in challenging times. Our philosophy is that children learn best through creative play.
