Early Childhood Center
18 months - 5 years
A holistic approach to early childhood education
The foundation for your child’s academic and personal journey begins at SDJA’s Jewish Preschool, the Early Childhood Center (ECC). Rooted in Jewish values and strengthened by a warm, supportive community, our preschool nurtures curiosity, joy, and a love of learning. Here, children develop socially, emotionally, and academically as they grow into who they are meant to be, guided by the values they learn.
The ECC offers part-time and full-time care options. Preschool hours are Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m., with early start options available from 7:30 a.m. and after-school care until 5:30 p.m. On Fridays, the ECC closes at 5:00 p.m. in observance of Shabbat.
Challenge Minds
At SDJA’s Jewish Preschool, we take a balanced approach to early childhood education, nurturing each child’s unique potential. We believe that every child deserves individual care and attention, which is why our small class sizes allow us to guide children along their own learning paths. Through a rich, developmentally appropriate curriculum, we help them build essential learning foundations while instilling core Jewish values that will shape their future.
Inspire Purpose
At SDJA’s Jewish Preschool, learning takes place in state-of-the-art facilities and creative spaces designed to inspire curiosity and growth. These environments stimulate thinking, foster meaningful relationships, and nurture each child’s sense of identity—both as an individual and as part of a larger community. This strong foundation ensures a smooth transition to kindergarten and beyond, preparing children for lifelong learning and success.
Explore Possibilities
Our supportive and nurturing staff integrate academic, cultural, social, and emotional development into and outside of the classroom, providing the foundation and personalized attention to help each child thrive, learn, and grow.
