Description: The JCC Preschool is the only preschool in Washtenaw County that offers a Jewish cultural program although many of the children are not of Jewish decent..

The school uses play as a means for growing and learning. Songs, dance, holiday celebrations and weekly Shabbat observances enrich their curriculum. Full-day and half-day childcare is provided for children ranging in age from 2 months to 5 years.
