Welcome to the Jewish Community Preschool! We offer an alternative for families seeking a developmentally appropriate preschool program that will instill in your child a lifelong enthusiasm for learning. Our staff is committed to guiding and nurturing each child to grow and develop.

Your child will thrive in our interactive and stimulating environment that encourages creativity, discovery and self-expression. Play is an essential part of our preschool day and enhances each child’s emotional, physical and social development.

Our program will enrich your child with Jewish values and traditions while recognizing, respecting, and exploring cultural differences.

We would love to discuss all our program has to offer your family. Please call (540) 342-3378 to speak with our director, Hannah Greenberg.

Philosophy
The philosophy of our preschool is first and foremost to offer a program in which we help families to nurture and educate their children in an environment that promotes morals and values important for giving children quality learning. The preschool is child centered, with hands-on approaches to learning. Our curriculum is developmentally appropriate, adapting to serve the needs of each individual child. Children are given opportunities to develop physically, socially, cognitively, and spiritually. Teachers serve as guides, helping children to discover things for themselves. The children are encouraged by doing.

We serve children ages 2 to 5 and provide the following guidelines for curriculum:

• Focus on social skills
• Focus on School Readiness
• Focus on Basic Concepts (Shapes, colors, numbers, etc)
• Focus on Spiritual values, Hebrew words, and other denominational themes.
• Developmentally Appropriate Shabbat
• Services each Friday with the Rabbi.
• Special programs including library time, music time and many other exciting adventures!
