[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any additional details on why the JCC is good?  [/quote]

Our daughter has been in the infant room, toddler room, and now is in the preschool 2s room.  What I like:

Reggio Emilia approach
Parents involved as partners in learning (part of the RE approach)
sense of community
teachers with long tenure
pool/gym facilities
excellent playgrounds
enrichment options for preschoolers (music, dance, etc)
part time preschool options
before and after school care and summer camp for when kids age out of daycare, with bus transport for the local schools
Kids night out program so parents can have a date night (usually once every month or so)

downsides--sometimes the jewish holiday closures can be rough especially in the fall (we are not jewish, we just use PTO and take the day off; you win some and lose some with jewish holidays, some years they are not on weekdays); they also do 1 and sometimes 2 teacher training days per year, but I view that as a small price to pay for having good staff; some people find the dairy/pareve lunch rules to be difficult to deal with, but we eat mostly vegetarian at home, so not a big deal at all to us.
