Welcome to PJCC Preschool!

Discover a place where your child will grow, learn, and thrive. We look forward to welcoming your family into our nurturing and engaging learning environment.

At PJCC Preschool, we embrace the profound importance of early childhood, recognizing these formative years as a time of exploration, curiosity, and growth. Our curriculum is designed to foster inquiry-based learning while nurturing strong relationships and instilling essential values that guide children in making the world a better place.

Our Curriculum: A Foundation for Lifelong Learning

Our curriculum is deeply rooted in the Jewish principles of inquiry (Drash), friendship (Hevruta), and ethical values (Tzedakah). Through play, hands-on exploration, and child-centered learning, we create opportunities for every child to develop confidence, creativity, and a sense of belonging.

Drash (Inquiry & Exploration): Learning begins with curiosity. We encourage children to ask questions, explore materials, and engage in discovery-based learning in a rich, thoughtfully designed environment.
Hevruta (Friendship & Community): Social connections are at the heart of learning. We foster collaborative play and teamwork, helping children build strong friendships and communication skills.
Tzedakah (Ethical Responsibility): From an early age, children learn the importance of kindness, respect, and social responsibility, reinforcing their ability to positively impact the world.

A Day in the Life at PJCC Preschool

Our daily rhythm supports cognitive, social, and emotional growth. Activities are carefully designed to ease transitions, nurture creativity, and promote confidence.

Kee Tov (Age 4): Our pre-kindergarten program provides enriching experiences in literacy, science, and math, fostering critical thinking and preparing children for kindergarten success.
Infants & Toddlers (6 months – 2 years): A warm, loving environment with a low child-to-adult ratio that emphasizes sensory play, secure attachments, and responsive caregiving.
K’ton Ton (Age 2): A lively space where children explore independence through music, movement, pretend play, and structured group activities.
Keshet (Age 3): A dynamic setting where children begin to express their identities, develop early literacy and math skills, and engage in art, dramatic play, and cooperative learning.
