Jacqueline feels that being part of the JCC community has become invaluable and that the family’s connection to the JCC will continue beyond preschool. Jacqueline and Michael met some of their closest friends at the JCC. They even vacation together! Michael wants people to know “the JCC is in an inclusive environment, accepting of all faiths and backgrounds, and it’s interesting to learn about other cultures from the families they have  gotten to know."

About Our Curriculum

At the Blaustein Early Childhood Center, we believe in making learning a joyful adventure!  We use Creative Curriculum to guide learning at every age, beginning with infants and continuing through kindergarten. It is a comprehensive research-based curriculum that enables children to develop confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical thinking skills. The state of New Jersey recommends the Creative Curriculum which is fully aligned with New Jersey Early Learning Standards. Our Curriculum meets children where they are and adapts to each child's individual needs.

We understand the importance of building strong foundations, which is why our curriculum places a significant emphasis on essential skills such as alphabet recognition, numerical understanding, and color exploration. We believe that education goes beyond rote memorization, which is why learning through play is at the heart of our approach. We integrate learning through play into every aspect of our curriculum. Our preschool curriculum nurtures both academic growth and the love for exploration, which sets the stage for a lifelong enthusiasm for discovery and learning.

Words cannot express in an email how grateful we are for your support. Through your giving, children like ours are able to get an education, social interactions, and Jewish experiences all during their fun-filled days. We hope to one day join you on the receiving end of a note such as this, but until that day we are hopeful, appreciative, and happy to know our community is filled with people like you who think of others in the community.

Thank you for your support for not just my family, but for the other families who you have provided assistance and peace of mind for.
