Big Hearts for Little Hearts is a group of monthly givers who are passionate about unity among Jerusalem’s diverse people groups.
One of the best ways we've found to bring about this vision of unity is to care for the hearts of Jerusalem's children.
Through the support of Little Hearts Preschool, located in the heart of Jerusalem, we help inspire and educate Arabic, Jewish, and international kids to create long-lasting friendships, and to build community under the unifying name of Yeshua.
From all over the world, people with big hearts are making a difference in the lives of Jerusalem's children when they join Big Hearts for Little Hearts. Because the future of Jerusalem is in the hands of these children, we need their curiosity, creativity, and cooperation.
By helping to create an environment of mutual respect and helping each child see that they are a unique creation of God, Big Hearts for Little Hearts gives these children a model of unity that will flourish through these children's neighborhoods, the city of Jerusalem, and beyond as these young lives grow to profoundly affect the people around them.

Little Hearts Preschool models an environment of love that helps children put their differences aside and interact with each other in a spirit of community and cooperation. Only through this mutual respect can these children find good solutions to their problems that honor one another as friends. We believe this basic understanding of love and empathy will help make these children of Jerusalem into people who care for each other, no matter what their ethnicity or background.

Little Hearts Preschool is a Montessori school, devoted to helping children develop self-direction, hands-on learning, and purposeful work. We believe in the innate desire and ability of the child to learn, discover, and wonder at God's creation. We look forward to setting these children on a path to impact the future of our great city.

Little Hearts Preschool is as diverse as Jerusalem itself. Our teachers speak Arabic, Hebrew, and English in the school, to support our students in their native language and to show them that they are cared for and included in everything we do.
Our classrooms also support a mixed-age community. Children are encouraged to cooperate and learn from each other. We believe that this sense of community will continue in these children up through adulthood. Because of the strong sense of community these kids have with one another, language, culture, and ethnicity will not be a barrier to them, but a celebration of the riches of God’s creativity and blessing.

The Little Hearts Preschool staff is a mixture of Arab Christians and Messianic Jews. They are motivated to create an environment of unity through biblically-based beliefs and faith in the Messiah. We believe that in the Messiah, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for all are one” (Galatians 3:28). We encourage our children to see beyond differences and love one another as Yeshua first loved us, and we believe that this love will eventually change not only Jerusalem, but the entire world.

We need you here.
If you care about building a peaceful future for the next generation here in Jerusalem, your big heart belongs here.
We need your help to educate these loving, brilliant, faithful children that come from all of Jerusalem's peoples, because someday these children will grow into a community of adults.
And these adults will work toward building Jerusalem into a model of diverse cultures, brought together in unity and community, through cooperation and love.
Change begins with children.
