We cannot recommend the EDCJCC preschool more. In the year we’ve been enrolled, our son has developed so much in every single way possible. His teachers, the administration and the staff in general have all be absolutely incredible. They are all friendly, welcoming and beyond caring. You can tell they are invested in the children’s wellbeing and want them to thrive in the community. Additionally, they truly function as a preschool vs. a daycare and the education has been so good for our son. The curriculum has allowed him to really learn about the world around him in a safe and conscientious way. I couldn’t be happier that we chose to send our child to school here.

I’ve been a member here for a few years, and have just started to take fuller advantage of the fitness membership (thanks depression). The staff is so kind and welcoming, and unlike other gyms there’s a lack of judgement based on your fitness level. The classes are amazing and there’s a wide variety you can take, and for this area it’s truly an amazing deal. The community is also great, this is the only gym where I haven’t been harassed at all. Highly recommend this place if you want to take any kind of yoga or exercise class, lift, or swim. I hope one day to try out the BJJ classes as well!

Like every other parent, we were racked with worry about where to send our kids. Where would they not just be well cared for, but flourish? Once we found the EDCJCC Preschool that worry vanished. Our child has benefited from teachers who are caring and creative, experts in their field. The curriculum is ever changing, reflective of the interests of the kids in each classroom assuring that they are learning while having fun. The EDCJCC Preschools is also incredibly well run from an administrative perspective. The EDCJCC Preschool has been such an amazing fit for our family.

One of the great places in the community. Welcoming to people of ALL backgrounds, promoting strong and virtuous American values. Also like the coolest gym ever. You will pay a tiny bit extra, but it's totally worth it.
