JLA Preschool educators plan and implement meaningful experiences to ensure that children feel loved, safe, and empowered to learn new things, become increasingly independent, display social-emotional competence, and build healthy and positive relationships.
JLA Preschool’s unique “Mensch Curriculum” provides a teaching framework and a spirit to the school. A mensch is a person who exudes integrity and honor; a good person – a kind person – a leader. The mensch acronym: Mindful, Equitable, Nourished, Socially responsive, Confident, and Happy – guides the classroom experience and learning goals.
At our school, we understand the demands of being a busy parent or caretaker. That's why we offer a range of flexible scheduling options tailored to meet the diverse needs of your household. With our extended day programs and year-round availability, you can rely on us to provide a consistent and reliable option for your children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. We're here to make your life easier!

Unique enrichment opportunities make learning a fun and exciting experience by encouraging new discoveries each day!

Once a week, our oldest classes enjoy swimming, adding a change of classroom scenery and physical activity to their day. Together with their teachers, children enjoy swimming in our aquatic center while being supervised by certified lifeguards both inside and outside the pool.
