[quote=Anonymous]The Jewish pre-school in my immediate area has a wonderful reputation.  We chose another daycare because we were unable to secure an appointment to interview with the JCC school before our son was born.  We were beyond happy with the daycare we got into.  However, due to COVID and our daycares unwillingness to reopen, we were forced to look at other options.  We got an appt with the JCC and felt that we were welcomed with open arms (btw, we are lesbian parents AND Episcopalian).  Our child has been very happy.
There are adjustments.  We’ve been learning, esp in regard to foods and holidays.  It’s an incredible opportunity to immerse our child in another culture.  The history of the Old Testament is important to us as Christians.  The religious aspect is not problematic to us.  This is where I’m really proud that we were open to sending our child to a Jewish school...anyone with eyes and ears should be keenly aware of the rise of antisemitism, world wide.  Our child is to make room for people of all cultures and beliefs...as we expect people to be respectful of our family.  I feel that my child going to a Jewish Daycare is a way to ensure respect for the Jewish culture and religion.  In turn, I hope it will be a building block for him to accept that there are all kinds of different people and cultures, and they are kind and important, just like his Jewish friends, his Muslim friends, his friends of color...we can all learn from each other, in spite of and because of our differences.[/quote]
