What shalom day care does

B'nai Shalom Day School is an independent, non-profit Jewish day school founded in 1970 and headquartered at 804 Winview Dr A, Greensboro, NC. It is the only Jewish day school in the Triad region (Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point) and serves children from eight weeks old through 8th grade across Preschool, Lower School, and Upper School divisions. The school operates a dual curriculum combining secular academic instruction with Hebrew and Judaic studies, supplemented by signature programs including the Heder T'nuah movement room (designed with occupational therapists), a Fab Lab with 3D printing and coding instruction progressing from visual block coding to Python, JavaScript, and Augmented Reality, an 8th-grade Israel trip, and Civil Rights pilgrimages. Extended-care and seasonal revenue lines include After School Care & Enrichment (3:30-5:30 PM), Holiday Kids' Care on school closure days, and Little Star Day Camp for ages 1-5.

The business model is a hybrid of recurring tuition, philanthropic donations, and competitive grants. Tuition from enrolled families is the primary revenue stream, but pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; an Affordability page suggests financial aid is available. Philanthropy is institutionalized through the Sneaker Soirée annual gala (sponsorships from $180 to $5,000) and the 2024-2025 Report on Philanthropy, with the 50th anniversary campaign having raised over $1.1 million. Grants come primarily from the Jewish Education Innovation Challenge (JEIC), including a $20,000 Ignition Grant for the Planting God-Expansive Idea Seeds program and a $4,500 Ignition Grant for Connecting the Unconnected. The school is governed by a Board of Trustees (Jen Strasser, President), with a Head of School (Eva Turner, incoming in April 2024, succeeding Susan Siegel) overseeing divisions led by a Preschool Director (Lisa Lasovsky) and Lower & Upper School Division Head (Carolyn Hawks).

Customer acquisition runs through a traditional private-school enrollment funnel — website inquiry, campus tours, and an admissions application — supplemented by community-led channels including the Parent Association, alumni referrals (17% of current students are children of alumni), and signature events. Distribution is single-site, domestic U.S. (Southeast), with multi-school and Israel partnerships extending reach without altering the physical delivery model.
