My oldest child attended JCC several years ago (pre-renovation) and I have a child who currently attends (post renovation) and we couldn't be happier! There were definitely some areas for improvement in the past and I feel like it's been a 180 since my last child attended. They have a very capable preschool director in place, an incredible lead teacher in the classroom, and the facilities are fabulous. The community of parents is also very very strong -- that's one thing I can say that's always been consistent about my experience at JCC over all of these years is that you can't find a better preschool community. |
We use the aftercare and before care --- it's DC, so lots of working parents who use both before and aftercare. Your child won't be alone. ![]() Also, the days off for the Jewish holidays are tough. We are lucky to have nearby grandparents who are retired, but others telework or hire a babysitter/nanny. |
