[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg, some of these responses are ridiculous! We are an African-American Christian family, and we sent our son to a lovely Jewish preschool for 3 years. The fact that we were not Jewish did not affect him (or us) at all. We loved that he was exposed to a different religion and we attended Shabbat whenever possible. Being part of the community enriched our lives in many ways regardless of the fact that we were in the minority on many levels. I'll never understand the close-mindedness of some people on DCUM. To those who are discouraging the OP, open your minds a little. You might meet some great people while learning some valuable lessons in the process[/quote]

we sent our child to a jewish pre-school and we are Catholic.  Everyone was wonderful, sweet, and welcoming.  [/quote]

I can't believe there's this much discussion about this.  I suspect there's not a little undercurrent of anti-Semitism, which is appalling.

We're a Christian family (Presbyterian/Episcopal) and sent one of our children to a Jewish preschool.  It was fine, and I was glad for the exposure to a different religious tradition.  That said, I was a SAHM, so we did not have to worry about coordinating work schedules with Jewish holidays.   That would be my only consideration if I were working, but it certainly wouldn't be an insurmountable one if I truly liked the school and its philosophy as OP has said.

OP, why are you so nervous about being the only non-Jewish family?  I think you need to figure out what's making you nervous and deal with that explicitly.   [/quote]
