Why families choose JPS

Community & Belonging

Our family has found much more than a preschool at JPS—we’ve found an extended family. With two children enrolled, we are continually impressed by the genuine care every staff member shows, from celebrating milestones with us to checking in when our children are sick. The teachers communicate regularly, support each child’s individual development, and provide an excellent foundation for kindergarten while fostering a love of Judaism. Hearing our daughters sing Hebrew songs and share holiday traditions is exactly what we hoped for. Just as meaningful, we’ve built lasting friendships with other families and feel truly connected to the JPS community.

Loving Environment

When we moved to Charlotte, we hoped to find a preschool where our children would be known, loved, and supported. JPS exceeded every expectation. The teachers are nurturing, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth, while the staff warmly embraces our entire family. The family programming and welcoming community made our transition feel effortless. We are deeply grateful for the trust, connection, and care we’ve experienced and truly believe choosing JPS was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family.

Joyful Jewish Learning

Our family absolutely loves JPS! With three children enrolled, we’ve experienced the warmth and care of the incredible teachers every day. Our children feel safe, happy, and excited to learn through play while developing a love for Hebrew, Jewish traditions, and celebrating each holiday. They come home eager to share what they’ve learned, and we’ve built wonderful friendships with other families along the way. The dedicated teachers and staff make JPS a truly special place for children and families alike.”
