JCCSF Helen Diller Family Preschool

"Amazing place"

"Diller is the preschool jackpot! The community is very welcoming and we've built deep relationships with other families. Our kids' days are filled with joy and discovery. Karla and her phenomenal team of teachers and specialists (art, music, and nature) are incredible and absolutely love the students! From cooking to creative art projects, garden explorations, and walks to the Presidio, every day is filled with joyful learning. We've seen our kids learn and grow a ton in their time here!"

"The proverb "It takes a village to raise a child" encapsulates the idea that the responsibility of nurturing and guiding a child extends beyond the immediate family to include a broader community. In our experience with JCC Helen Diller , this saying has come to life. The collaborative spirit among teachers, parents, and the dedicated director mirrors the essence of a supportive village. The outstanding teachers contribute not just academically, but also emotionally, creating a collective atmosphere of care and encouragement. The shared commitment to a child's growth and development fosters a sense of unity among families. The preschool has truly become an extended family where everyone plays a role in shaping the experiences and memories of our child. The amazing director, Karla sets the tone for this communal approach, fostering a sense of belonging and shared responsibility. This environment has proven invaluable in providing our child with a well-rounded and enriching early childhood education. In essence, we feel fortunate to be part of this village, where the values of community, support, and collective growth are not just spoken but lived every day. It reinforces the belief that raising a child is not a solitary journey but a shared endeavor enriched by the diversity and strength of the village we are fortunate to call our preschool family."

"Can’t say enough about how amazing JCCSF Helen Diller preschool has been for our family. Not only have they delivered an incredible early childhood education for our two (and soon-to-be three) kids, but they have provided us with a wonderful community of warm, kind-hearted families. The teachers (Hannah, Sandra, Kim, Juliet, Tracy, JT, and more) are second to none, and the leadership (Karla and Karyn) are phenomenal. And yes, they are great at preparing and helping place kids at their first choice elementary schools."

"Fantastic community center. Great school, gym, pool, cafe and performances."
