The JCC is Expanding Its Preschool Program to Temple Beth-El Mekor Chayim in Cranford
The JCC of Central NJ, known for its nurturing, quality preschool and kindergarten programs, is expanding beyond its walls in Scotch Plains to create a small, intimate 2s program at Temple Beth-El Mekor Chayim, located at 338 Walnut Avenue in Cranford.
At Temple Beth-El Mekor Chayim, children can thrive in the warm creative learning environment for which the JCC is known. There are both half day and full day 2s program options, and the JCC will also offer early and late stay care options at the Cranford location.
The JCC preschool and kindergarten is NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) accredited and is a recognized Sheva Learning Community Cornerstone School by the JCCA of North America. Sheva (seven) is comprised of seven core elements which identify and distinguish the school as a progressive, dynamic and excellent learning community which identifies with constructivist learning philosophies and is inspired by Jewish expressions of values.
