Mandel Jcc Preschool

The Mandel JCC Early Childhood Center is unmatched! The level of care the teachers and directors have for each child is so genuine and deep. Our children are thriving and learning social and emotional skills. They are so happy. My favorite part is they get such great exposure to new things - from art studio, to movement class, gym, exploration & play. As working parents, their program is perfect for us. Great hours. I know my babies are in the best hands here.

Enrolling our child at JCC Cleveland Early Childhood has truly been the biggest blessing for our family. From the moment we joined, it felt like becoming part of a big, warm, loving family. The staff not only loves and cares for each child, keeps them safe, but they also nurture essential social-emotional skills that will benefit them for a lifetime. The environment is incredibly supportive, and the amenities are unparalleled truly a place where your child can thrive in every way. I can go to work knowing my child is safe, loved, and cared for, and also gaining experiences only available at such an incredible institution. The JCC Early Childhood is a nurturing, educational, and enriching experience for your little one (and your family), this is the place to be. We are so grateful to be part of this wonderful community!

As a parent, I am incredibly grateful for the experience my children had at the Mandel Jewish Early Childhood Center. The warm and nurturing environment fostered a love of learning and a strong sense of curiosity about the world. The dedicated teachers go above and beyond to create a sense of community within their classrooms and the school as a whole.  They create engaging invitations of discovery that spark curiosity and inspire creativity. The program's emphasis on building a strong foundation of social and emotional skills, and their firmly held belief that play is the way of the child has been invaluable in the development of my children as learners.  The focus on play invitations and discovery time allowed my children to explore their interests, develop problem-solving skills, and build lasting friendships. The teachers seamlessly integrated Jewish values and traditions into these play-based experiences, making learning meaningful and fun. I wholeheartedly recommend the Mandel Jewish Early Childhood Program to any family seeking an exceptional educational experience for their young child.

As working parents, we thought sending our kids to daycare would be hard…. Sending our kids to the JCC, on the other hand, has turned out to be the easiest. We know our kids are in the most loving, respectful, talented hands there are. In addition to the excellent care and education, the teachers do an amazing job keeping us parents in the loop, so that we can partner together to help our kids be their healthiest, happiest selves. I’d also call out a few logistical things we love about the program. 1. Being embedded within the JCC makes for a built-in place to work out and build community. Membership to the JCC is heavily discounted for early childhood families. 2. For those seeking Jewish education relative to the Jewish day schools in the area, the hours and days open are MUCH better. Year round program (with short breaks), full-day Fridays, fewer holiday closures, and open 7:30am-5:15pm (no before or after care needed- they’re with their teachers and classes getting their full regular support). There’s truly nowhere we’d rather be, and we’re so grateful to be part of the JCC family.

As a staff member for 4.5 years I had the opportunity to see the loving care and attention the children at the MJCC Early Childhood Center received on a daily basis, and I couldn't recommend somewhere more. The staff truly cares for every child as if they were their own, and the support staff does an incredible job ensuring children are learning in a safe and welcoming environment. It truly is an extended family for every child there.
