I feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of such a wonderful community.  It was a thrill to watch my older daughter, Nina, thrive in this nurturing enviornment and graduate.  I look forward to having more years as a parent with my younger daughter, Margot.  I am very thankful for the amazing teachers and administration who work hard every day to deliver the mission of providing young children with a secure and loving atmosphere in which to grow, develop a positive self-image, and learn the joy of Jewish life.

With that, I could not be more excited for the opportunity to work with this incredible Board of Directors.  Our group of lay leaders have a wonderful passion for our school and a tremendous depth of knowledge.  We will continue to work hard towards CJP's strategic goals that will help us support, retain, and invest in effective staff and board members, promote a culture of community, engage in intentional, mission-driven growth planning, and increase financial strength and stability so CJP is here for families for years to come.

Thank you for being a part of our community and helping it grow stronger each year.

PTO

Our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is an active, committed group of parent and teacher volunteers that creates a caring school community, as well as organizes volunteer and fundraising activities. Our members, chairpersons, and officers host numerous events and fundraisers throughout the year in order to strengthen our connections and ultimately promote positive growth and learning in our children. We meet regularly to enhance the educational, developmental and social programs offered, and to raise funds for improving the preschool. All parents are welcome and encouraged to become active in the PTO.

On behalf of the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), welcome to the Charlotte Jewish Preschool (CJP)!  We are excited for you to become a part of our Kehillah- our special CJP community.

CJP has been an integral part of my life, beginning during my years as a preschool student here.  My oldest daughter graduated from CJP in the Spring, and my middle child will be in the Half Day Threes this year.  I am so grateful for the formative years both my children and I have spent at CJP.  This community is like no other, and it's really the people in it who make all the difference.

I encourage you to join the PTO and take an active role in CJP in whatever way you can.  There are many opportunities to get involved, both in person and behind the scenes.  Your PTO dues support programming and events throughout the year, and all of this wouldn't be possible without the help of our incredible volunteers.  Family engagement and support are fundamental to our school's culture and success!

I look forward to meeting you and working together.  Thank you in advance for joining the PTO and actively helping shape our community.  With your support, I know this year will be an amazing one for our children and school!
