SJCC Preschool: Nurturing Growth Through Play
The SJCC Preschool Program is a supportive environment for social, emotional, and cognitive growth. Under the supervision of certified staff members, the school provides a place where children can explore, experience, discover, create and form social contacts with their peers while meeting their own individual needs. While our preschool program provides structure for your child, we also believe that through play and interactive activities, children acquire the skills that they need to enhance all aspects of their knowledge.
The preschool program offers several enrichment activities. Students participate in yoga, storytelling, art, and physical education once a week.
