Our professional and caring educators support every child with love and respect. Children are immersed in rich learning that is guided by each child's own interest and exploration, to facilitate deeper understanding. 

Rooted in relationships and Jewish principles of inquiry, friendship and ethical values, the PJCC Preschool nourishes a safe, inclusive, and loving experience that build your child's foundation to be ready for kindergarten.

While most of our preschool programs are currently full, we have a few openings in our Toddler (12–24 mos.) and 2s programs.

If a warm, community-centered early learning environment sounds like the right fit for your child, a grandchild, or a friend's little one, click click here to get in touch.
