Jewish Creative Preschool

We feel so grateful that our child attends Jewish Creative Preschool. The teachers are incredibly nurturing, gentle, and compassionate—they truly see and care for each child. The Reggio Emilia approach shines through in everything they do, fostering creativity, curiosity, and a genuine love of learning in our son. Our son transitioned so easily and is genuinely happy to go to school each morning. He's even complained on days when there's no school because he misses his friends! That tells us everything we need to know about how special JCP is. The family events celebrating holidays are truly special—they create a wonderful sense of community and deepen the connection between parents and teachers. JCP has been such a wonderful place for our family, and we couldn't be happier with the experience.

The teachers at this preschool are truly phenomenal—attentive, caring, and deeply invested in each child. From the start, we never felt like “just another family.” Instead, it felt like an extended community that genuinely helped nurture our child to be kind, thoughtful, and confident. We also loved the use of the brightwheel app. Each day, the teachers would post photos and a quick update on what the kids learned, which made us feel connected even when we weren’t there. It became such a special part of our routine—something our family looked forward to looking at together before dinnertime. We also really appreciated the meaningful emphasis on Jewish holidays. It brought families together in such a warm, joyful way, and it was incredibly sweet to hear our child come home singing beautiful Jewish songs. And the summer program was hands-down the best—every day brought something new, with fun activities and weekly visitors that kept the kids engaged and excited.

Our daughter attended JCP for two years, and we had a wonderful experience. This is such a loving and caring environment where she thrived: she grew emotionally, developed confidence and independence, and formed strong relationships with her caregivers and friends. There is a genuine sense of community with many family events, and the curriculum is broad and engaging, allowing children to learn many things and skills. Itty, the director, does a fantastic job of organizing everything and assembling such an amazing team. The facilities are great too: there is a lot of indoor space and a private backyard, where children play outside several times a day and can enjoy any kind of weather. We also loved the summer camp option, as well as the app, through which we were getting daily photos and updates about what our daughter was doing and learning.

Our daughter went to JCP from about 2.5 years old to 3.5 years old and absolutely LOVED it. The Reggio Emilia philosophy was the perfect fit for her, and the small student to teacher ratio was incredible. We especially loved how JCP fosters independence and “life skills” like cooking, taking care of plants, etc. and appreciated how much time they spent outdoors. We are so grateful our daughter already has a love for Judaism - she loves baking challah every Friday for Shabbat. We left JCP because we moved to another town and will miss it dearly! Highly recommend.

We took our daughter here for a month this summer while we were visiting Boston. It was her first day care/camp/preschool experience and she had some separation anxiety, but the staff and all the other kids were incredibly sweet and warm with her (and us!) and she had a lovely time there. Being around other kids, participating in a range of fun activities, even for just that month, did wonders for her social development and burgeoning independence. And she loved bringing home a little challah every Friday for Shabbat!
