Visitation Policy
The Jewish Preschool for the Community has an “open door” policy in regard to parental visits during the school year. Drop-in visits are welcome. Please check in with the Director upon your arrival. There are many opportunities to observe your children in action, such as weekly Shabbat celebrations and holiday parties.
Discipline Policy
Children need limits! At the JPC, discipline is approached in a warm, positive manner where rules and routines are clearly established, expectations are age appropriate and positive reinforcement is stressed. Gentle reminders, redirecting a child, providing choices, and offering a quiet area often help reduce conflicts. The ultimate goal is to teach children appropriate behavior, self-control and positive ways to work through a problem.
Medication Policy
Our staff is not able to administer medicine to our students at school. If your child has to be given medicine during school hours, you (the parent) will be required to make arrangements to come in and administer the medication to your own child.
Emergency Procedures
The Jewish Preschool for the Community is committed to providing the safest possible environment for your children. In the event of an emergency—weather-related or due to conditions in our county—parents will be notified via Brightwheel or called by the staff of the preschool to notify them of what actions need to be taken.
Suspicion of Child Abuse
If the Preschool staff has suspicion of child abuse occurring at home or by another staff member, they are required by law to report these concerns to the proper Social Service authorities.
