The Early Childhood Department of the Jacksonville Jewish Center has over 50 years of providing quality programs to Jewish children in the community, regardless of synagogue affiliation. We are proud to be accredited by the Florida Kindergarten Council. Our preschool offers a safe, nurturing and stimulating first school experience for young children. Our program is distinguished by its outstanding teaching staff and a creative curriculum, which provides many opportunities for self expression and personal growth. Each child discovers that this is a place to play, create, make friends, explore and celebrate together. Together, we begin the process of nurturing in each child a healthy sense of self and a love of learning. We offer a full range of classes for preschool children from toddlers through pre-kindergarten.
