Our Mission
Gan Dror is a pioneering kindergarten and early childhood education center established by a community of trailblazing young families who have served their country endlessly since October 7th and who believe in the power of education. Born in the shadow of war, and built in the memory of our fallen friend, Dror Alton z”l- Gan Dror offers a safe, healing, and empowering space for young children to thrive.
Heal through nature, play and therapeutic connection to animals.
Learn through movement, creativity and observation.
Grow in an environment that strengthens attachment, resilience and belonging.
Gan Dror blends Israeli identity, ecological stewardship, and emotional development into a holistic educational experience rooted in Israel’s land and traditions.
Gan Dror is named for our dear friend, Dror Alton, who fell in battle on October 7 as he rushed to save the lives of some of the very men who are now helping build this kindergarten. Dror was man filled with courage, kindness, and vision. This kindergarten is our tribute to his legacy. It is a living, breathing promise to raise the next generation with the values he embodied.
