Summit JCC Early Learning Center

We have been part of the SJCC community for over 5 years. Our oldest daughter started in the 2’s program and went through Kindergarten. And now our «baby» is currently in the 3’s. Our entire family senses the warmth the minute you walk through the doors. The teachers, director and staff are all amazing and approachable. Our oldest daughter, who is now in public school in first grade, came well prepared because of the high quality of education she received at the SJCC. We absolutely recommend the SJCC to any families looking for a great pre-​school in the Summit area!

I could never have guessed how WONDERFUL this school is and what a fabulous difference it would make for my family. Both of my kids — who are very different from each other — learned to love school and both thrived in this warm, nurturing, creative, environment. The faculty is amazingly talented and engaged. The program is so well run. Really, it was more than I ever knew to hope for when I was looking for a preschool. I would wholeheartedly encourage anyone looking into preschools in the Summit area to pick this one.

The Summit JCC is one of the best preschools in the area, hands down. We moved to Summit when my oldest was 3 and he has grown leaps and bounds since he started at the school a year and a half ago. The learning philosophy is hands-​on and individualized and the faculty is truly top notch. In 2015, the school brought on a new director (although the previous director was also fabulous!) and she couldn’t be more receptive to parent feedback and passionate about early childhood education. Their program is super flexible to accommodate working parents and also kids who need a shorter/​longer day at school. The school has been around for more than 45 years and has truly lived up to its great reputation. Additionally, I love the parent community there and have made life long friends through the school. I’m sending my youngest starting in January and I can’t wait to watch him blossom at the JCC. Anyone considering the JCC should feel confident that they are in excellent hands there!
