About Us
The OFJCC Leslie Family Preschool incorporates Jewish values and traditions into a joyful, play-based, family-centered educational approach. Our innovative, constructivist education is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach and a belief in children’s capabilities. We welcome families of all backgrounds, cultures, and faiths.
Our welcoming environment incorporates play-based, hands-on learning and guided exploration for children 18 months to five years old. With carefully designed indoor and outdoor learning environments that embrace nature and invite discovery, children are encouraged to both shape and explore their surroundings. We nurture a child’s inherent curiosity and creativity through play and experiential learning in a caring and beautiful environment. Our preschoolers benefit from our low child-to-teacher ratios.
The OFJCC Leslie Family Preschool offers meaningful cross-cultural values, rooted in Jewish teachings that are regularly part of the preschool day. For example, our children learn about doing mitzvot (acts of human kindness) and tikkun olam (repairing the world). They experience firsthand how to do good for others by planting, nurturing and donating fresh fruits and vegetables from the preschool’s thriving Giving Garden. Our home at the Oshman Family JCC allows children to add swimming, music, holiday celebrations, performing arts and gardening to their experience.
At the heart of our preschool is our vibrant and engaged community of families who call us their home away from home. Through the Yad b’Yad parent participation program, children become comfortable in their preschool environment, and parents and children alike form lifelong friendships and a lasting community.
Families stay connected over summer break with exciting camp experiences. The OFJCC offers frequent opportunities for enrichment with family hikes, cooking classes, performances, parent education workshops and more. Older siblings can participate in innovative afterschool programs and parents can enjoy onsite fitness facilities, making the OFJCC a convenient and enjoyable stop for everyone.
