We are so glad we found JEC. It is clear the caretakers love what they do and my son loves going to school. He has learned so much since starting almost 2 years ago.

The teachers and administration are very open with communication. They encourage independence in the classroom while also having fun and being creative. My son is in the toddler class and just loves it. They do a good bit of activities outside all year round!

We are very grateful to have this school! Highly recommend!

My daughter is learning so fast, thanks to JEC teachers, they are great listener, respectful and full of joy and kindness also,
one of the staff members performed CPR. and saved another staff member's life. This is a testament to the quality of training and preparedness of the staff at the facility. Knowing that the staff is well-trained and capable of responding to emergencies like this can certainly give me as first-time mom a peace of mind when I bring my daughter to JEC. I appreciate the dedication, professionalism, love and care that every single staff member provides to my little one, I can go to work feeling comfortable and happy to know that my daughter is in perfect hands.

I have had 3 children going here since 2017. Two of the three children still attend JEC daily, my oldest goes for their school age children’s camp during ASD closures. The staff are amazing, and my kids adore their teachers. They do lots of learning activities, nature walks, free play time and much more. The facilities is kept in good condition and is very secure with badge access. Overall we love JEC and have kept our children there and will continue their services there.

Our son has attended the JEC since he was 3 months old. As first-time parents, we were obviously nervous about sending him anywhere (especially in the middle of the pandemic), but we have been absolutely delighted with the care provided at the JEC. Our son has grown into a thriving, independent, and loving individual with the help of the amazing JEC teachers and staff. The teachers are incredibly compassionate, loving, and enthusiastic. The culture of the school is such that everyone feels like family. The toddler rooms are exceptional for the fun, learning, creativity, and independence that they harbor. The JEC is a truly special place where people of all different walks of life are welcomed and embraced. We are thrilled that we are part of such a special little community.

Such a sweet little school. Their attention to outdoor time is phenomenal. The little kids are taught to put on their own snow and rain gear before they are even potty trained. So helpful for us at home! They gently teach the children how to handle all the feelings and phases that kids go through. They discuss concerns in a constructive method to help us parents, help our children, become functioning and kind members of society. My two children have been through JEC and are very different from each other. I have been going there for almost 7 years now and have been apart of all the various rooms and educators. Before, during, and after, Covid has had its ups and downs but all staff have done their best. My family is not Jewish, however, the attention to social welcoming of all types of people has been a joy to be a part of. Myself and my children have befriended people of all different religions, socioeconomics, and races through JEC. I have been very happy my kids have been at JEC.

JEC has been nothing but impeccable. We are overjoyed by the growth our child has made since enrollment began. Her confidence, vocabulary and overall demeanor have skyrocketed. The reviews from years ago shouldn't be considered. The staff there now are incredible.

Girl to be honest JEC is the best preschool for your kids not gonna lie, the teachers there are so nice and they always makes your child welcomed and they always fellowship with every single child. Working here and having great memories with my little friends are the memories that will never be forgotten.
