Mission

Charlotte Jewish Preschool provides high quality half and full-day early childhood education programs within an enriched Jewish environment. We are dedicated to providing a secure and loving atmosphere so that young children can develop a positive self-image and grow intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially. We welcome children of all religions, and are dedicated to instilling within each child an excitement towards learning and a joyful attitude toward Judaism.

Our educational approach values learning experiences through play, with activities and materials that encourage creativity, self-expression and inquiry. Our well-qualified staff, combined with low student-teacher ratios, enables teachers to discover the uniqueness within each child and to help each child develop a sense of mastery and self-confidence in their abilities. Our staff’s constant renewal of their students’ excitement and positive self-worth fuels each child’s courage to explore and expand their horizons.

We are sustained by and benefit from the Shalom Park community, especially our partners: Temple Israel, Temple Beth El and the Leon and Sandra Levine Jewish Community Center. Our location on Shalom Park enables our students to take advantage of opportunities unavailable elsewhere, such as afternoon specialty classes at the Leon and Sandra Levine Jewish Community Center, Shabbat services at Temple Israel and Temple Beth El, access to the Levine-Sklut Judaic Library and Resource Center, the new state of the art Sandra & Leon Levine Playground, and much, much more. We are also generously supported by our parents, grandparents, alumni and friends, and the Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte.

As a result of our educational approach and strong community connections, our students thrive at school, at home, and in the community. We are proud that our students move confidently and successfully to their next level of education, while always remembering the lessons of family and community first learned here at CJP.
