The early years in your child's life are a precious time. We make sure your child is secure and loved in an environment full of opportunities. From the first splash in the toddler pool to the breast stroke in our 75-foot pool, we provide a unique experience for your child to grow at every stage in a first class facility. We invite you to share your child's Shabbat, sing a little song, splash, jump, run, create and see just how great being a kid at the JCC North Shore can be!

Morning Preschool runs from 9:00 AM until 12:00 noon. Each child's growth and development is enhanced in a Judaic environment with the support of caring, professional and trained staff. Children participate in developmentally appropriate curriculum while growing socially, emotionally and cognitively.

In addition to six classrooms designed for 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds, the program offers two specialty classes: Masoret and Transition. Masoret is designed for four year olds and incorporates Hebrew language and Jewish practices. Our Transition Class is designed for the older preschooler who may have just missed out on kindergarten or who needs that extra year before starting kindergarten. Preschool brochures are available at the front desk. To arrange for a visit and tour of the program, please call the preschool office, ext. 123.
