Child Care / Preschool in Orlando FL

Roth Jewish Community Center Early Childhood Centers:
Roth Jewish Community Center (JCC) offers preschool programs at our two campuses in Orlando and Maitland (in the Greater Orlando Area) in Orange County. We offer full-time options beginning at 8 weeks through to Pre-K, as well as part-time preschool programs beginning at 18 months. Our Early Childhood Learning Centers strive to give children a balanced program that is specifically tailored to the individual child. Since 1994, the lessons taught at the JCC's Early Childhood Learning Center have given children the tools need to succeed in school – 100% of our graduates' parents report that their children came to Kindergarten well-prepared, according to the JCC's annual kindergarten survey.

- Preschool programs for kids from 8 weeks through to Pre-K.
- We offer a great education while instilling core Jewish values
- After-school programs for elementary school students
- Creative Arts classes for children from 6 weeks through Pre-K and their parents in Shayna's Village (Maitland Campus)

Our curriculum is academically strong, while preserving the value of play for young children. The program goals are to foster individuality in children while enhancing their social-emotional, creative, physical, academic and cultural development.

At the JCC, children of all faiths are embraced. The JCC teaches Jewish values — such as charity, kindness, and repairing the world. In addition, children celebrate Jewish culture through food, song and story. While the JCC is not a synagogue or religious institution, it proudly celebrates Jewish culture in a fun, inclusive way.
