The JCC East Bay’s new site includes a play-based Reggio-Emilia preschool serving children ages 6 months to 5 years while also providing enrichment and family programming for our broader community. Center is a diverse community serving families of all backgrounds. 

The preschool program centers around Jewish values, a global exploration of Jewish life, and child-led inquiry. We offer a supportive space for children and families to develop meaningful connections to Jewish culture, community, and a positive first educational experience. 

The Early Childhood Education Center will also have programming for the whole family. From parent support groups to an infant program, Mishpacha&Me, the center offers a variety of opportunities to engage with Jewish life on the new campus, including an annual Purim Carnival and family groups on creating a Jewish home (Shorashim).
