Parents' Comments
Parent #1
I looked at many preschools and was immediately impressed by the JCC's facility (how many preschools have access to a real gymnasium, P.E. teacher and key card access for security?). In addition, the after school enrichment classses are varied and terrific. There is also a great amount of flexibility if you need extra before school or after school childcare.

Being Savvy Today
My Year of Giving Thanks
A year is such a strange thing. It's hard to define, other than to say that it's (generally) 365 days long, or to assign some notion of time to it. Yet, the truth is, so much happens in a year that all those events and experiences seem enough for
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?
View an example from the Savvy Source guide to learn more.
Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
