Director's Comments

Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?


It is our intention to foster a nurturing environment of open-ended exploration, curiosity and growth for children, teachers and parents that deepens our connections to Judaism, the community and the world around us.
The Washington DCJCC Preschool represents the brilliant diversity of our nation's capital. We welcome all children, regardless of religion, race or cultural background, to experience our exciting, nurturing program which incorporates Jewishâ??and universalâ??values such as Tikkun Olam (healing the world), Tzedakah (charity) and equal rights for all.

Parents' Comments

Parent #1
Great price for a great school. Small, warm classrooms that are in excellent condition. Lots of sunlight. Teachers are young and enthused about being there. Responsive administration is down to earth and understanding. Wonderful curriculum lets kids play while offering some creative structure. Music and art classes round it out to make it an excellent value. My daughter has blossomed at the DC JCC, she's incredibly curious and loves to learn.
