“We feel incredibly lucky to have found DJP for our daughter. From the moment we joined, we knew it was something special. The curriculum is engaging, and nurturing in all the right ways. Beyond the classroom, the sense of community has meant so much to our family. The friendships we’ve built with other school families are ones we know will last a lifetime. There’s a genuine warmth and connection that’s hard to find elsewhere. It makes us brought when our daughter talks about being Jewish and tells the story of each Jewish holiday to our family. Rabbi and Devorah are so welcoming and caring, creating an environment where every family feels valued and at home. DJP has been such a meaningful part of our lives for the last 4 years, and we are so grateful to be part of this community.”
Sincerely,

“Choosing Downtown Jewish Preschool for our children has been one of the best decisions our family has made. The school provides a warm, nurturing, family-like environment where every child is truly known, valued, and loved. The small class sizes and close-knit community allow children to thrive while developing confidence, independence, and a genuine love of learning.
What sets the preschool apart is its emphasis on hands-on, experiential learning. The children don’t simply learn concepts, they live them through meaningful experiences that help them understand and apply lessons in the real world. Creativity is encouraged every day, allowing each child to explore, imagine, and grow at their own pace.
Beyond academics, the teachers and staff genuinely care for each child and create a safe, supportive environment where children feel secure and celebrated. Most importantly, our children have developed a deep connection to their Jewish faith, traditions, and values. Through daily experiences, holiday celebrations, and meaningful learning opportunities, they have gained a strong sense of Jewish identity and pride.
We are incredibly grateful for the love, guidance, and foundation that Downtown Jewish Preschool has provided our family. It is truly a special place where children flourish academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.”

“DJP has helped Grey learn the importance of loving himself and those around him. The teachers have helped Grey figure out his passions and really own who he is. The growth has been so incredible and we are so proud of who he has grown up to be. We feel very lucky and grateful he grew up at DJP!”

“As parents, we were initially hesitant about choosing a religious preschool since we’re not particularly religious or observant. Looking back, it has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family.
From day one, we were welcomed into such a warm, nurturing, and inviting community. The teachers and staff made Dylan’s transition to school incredibly smooth, and she quickly felt comfortable, confident, and excited to learn. Watching her thrive this past year has been such a joy.
We’re so grateful for the love, care, and values the school provides every day. We couldn’t be happier with our experience, and we’re excited for Dylan to continue her journey here. We’re also looking forward to having our son, Brody, join the school this fall and become part of this wonderful community.”

The hands-on approach to learning has helped them grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence, all while making learning fun. Every day they come home excited to share what they’ve discovered, and every morning they’re genuinely happy to go back. As parents, there’s no better feeling than knowing your children are spending their days in a place where they feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.
What makes this school so special is its small, personal environment. The teachers and staff take the time to build meaningful relationships with each child and family, creating a sense of belonging that is hard to find. We’ve made wonderful connections with other families, and the community has become an important part of our lives.
We are incredibly grateful for the love, care, and dedicationDJP has shown our family. It has given our children the best possible start, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly.”
