Hey folks, I was the original poster and thought I should write in to say we ARE sending our daughter to the JCC in the September, and we're looking forward to it. We were v. impressed with the Director and also the way the school takes full advantage of being in an urban neighborhood. We want our daughter to grow up with a sense of community and an appreciation for a vibrant neighborhood and we think the JCC will help her gain that. I'll be sure to post when I'm a current parent and have a good, fact-based impression of how the school runs. In the meantime, thanks to all for the posts on this.

We're sending our 2.5 year old there in September as well. Liked the facilities and the way the school interacts with the neighborhood; though the Director and parents we met were very involved and always working to make the school even better. We're excited about it.

Hi J parent,

Thanks for this informed post. How do you like the preschool, in general?

Thanks. Also, why does everyone on this forum post anonymously? I've never experienced that before on parent forums in other cities.

I have read the old posts on the DCJCC, and it seems like most of the concerns were related to a former director, who left last year. Does anyone -- particularly any current parent -- have an update on the preschool program there? We are thinking about sending our daughter in the fall. Quick responses would be great; we have to make up our minds very soon.

(Apologies for cross-posting; I put this in the "general schools discussion" thread before realized there was a specific preschool thread as well.)
