JCP Early Childhood Center 146 Duane Street, Manhattan, New York,

JCP Early Childhood Center, located at 146 Duane Street in New York, offers a vibrant and engaging educational experience for children and families. Our school provides a play-based, child-centered environment where children can explore Jewish experiences and values while developing their individual identities. From our early learning opportunities to our preschool program, we strive to create a nurturing and enriching environment for young learners.

At JCP, we believe in making learning fun and meaningful at any age. Our after-school classes for grades Pre-K to 12 focus on approaching Judaism through art, music, storytelling, history, and Hebrew skills. We also offer Adult Learning opportunities led by our rabbis, including discussions on the foundations of Judaism and a Grandparent Reading Group.

In addition to our educational programs, we offer a variety of community initiatives and resources. From our JCP Babysitters’ Club to our B’nai Mitzvah Program, we are dedicated to supporting our members and the wider community. We also provide opportunities to volunteer and support asylum seekers, as well as resources for parents seeking guidance on discussing difficult topics with their children.

As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the support of our members and donors to continue offering enriching experiences and innovative programming. Your contributions help us to shape a vibrant and inclusive community where all are welcome. Visit us at our open house to learn more about our preschool philosophy, meet our staff and teachers, and see our classrooms in person. We look forward to welcoming you to the JCP Early Childhood Center!
