Welcome Future Families!
We look forward to getting to know you, guiding you through the admissions process, and introducing you to all that JCP has to offer your family.
Join our preschool for the 2025-2026 school year!
Come see our school in-person and get to know our preschool philosophy and curriculum, meet staff and teachers, and visit our classrooms!
JCP’s Early Childhood Center is recognized as a high quality, comprehensive program that successfully engages children in the learning process while also paying mind to the value of integrating Jewish identity and culture into our classrooms.
At JCP, we know the value of creative expression, play, and community. That’s why all year long, our events and celebrations for toddlers and infants keep them connected to their ever-growing Jewish community. With classes such as Babies and Blessings and Tot Shabbat services where children sing and dance, the Early Childhood Center holds space for our learners to explore new ideas every day. Come see what makes us unique!

Exmissions / Transition to Kindergarten
Through our personalized exmissions process, we work with families to set their children up for success at both public and private schools after JCP. Our small graduating class size allows for individual attention when discussing your options and completing school reports to properly capture each child’s unique strengths and personality.
With some of the best public schools in the city right here in our neighborhood, parents may choose to continue the sense of community locally. Other families may choose to apply to private schools.
