About the UJC Early Childhood Center

Since 1948 the United Jewish Community of the Virginia Peninsula has operated a preschool. We are currently located in Newport News and Williamsburg, Virginia. Our Newport News facility has four classrooms. There is a fully equipped out-door playground and an indoor gymnasium which is used for rainy day and after school activities. Our Williamsburg location is located on Bypass Road and has two classrooms, an outdoor playground as well as a large multipurpose room for rainy day and after school activities.

We offer preschool for children ages 2 through Pre-K and Kindergarten. Before and after care is available for our families who require these services. Each of our classes features a low student-teacher ratio. We are accredited members of NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children).

Our Mission

 

Children learn best in a safe, nurturing environment. Our school’s goal is to provide developmentally appropriate experiences to foster the growth of the whole child. Emphasis is placed on play and interactive learning to promote the social, emotional, academic and physical development of each child. Cognitive, creative and physical activities are planned to foster daily growth. An environment is provided that seeks to promote positive self esteem and social interaction. Our teachers strive to provide constant encouragement and praise, not only for the child’s products but also for the processes that he or she goes through in obtaining them.
As a Jewish school, we instill in our children values as well as opportunities to practice basic religious observances. The lessons we learn are those found in the Old Testament which is the foundation of our heritage.
