Preschoolers experience so many firsts. For our families, CJP provides them with their first connection to Shalom Park’s numerous agencies and often a first connection to Jewish life.
Our curriculum takes a student-centered approach to Early Childhood education where children learn by experience and is designed to respect each child as a capable and unique individual.
From weekly special lessons to special events, our students enjoy activies that enrich their everyday experiences through play, exploration, and celebration.
Judaism is the foundation for our curriculum and Jewish values are incorporated into students' experiences through daily activities, observance of traditions, and exploration of Jewish culture.
Our teachers and staff are dedicated to creating a loving and safe environment that instills within each child an excitement towards learning and a joyful attitude toward Judaism.

Next time you're in our hallway, take a look at some of the beautiful documentation hanging on the walls outside of classrooms! ... See MoreSee Less
Happy Mitzvah Monday, the day we shout out the mini mensches around CJP for performing gemilut chasadim, acts of loving kindness. Today we are shouting out one of our half-day 2s students who shared her gloves with a friend on the playground. She did not want them, but happily shared hers with a friend who expressed that they had cold hands. Keep up the good mensching! ... See MoreSee Less
