The Boulder JCC Preschool provides a quality early childhood education program in which learning is facilitated through play, discovery and inquiry. Children explore their environment using dramatic play, music, art, sensory experience, movement and language. We incorporate Jewish cultural activities and values into our curriculum throughout the year.
The Boulder JCC Preschool Program is designed to enhance the social, emotional, linguistic, cognitive and physical development of each child. Individual learning styles are respected and encouraged, as well as providing the necessary time to explore, problem solve and think creatively. Our school offers opportunities for exploration and discovery in a play-based environment. We strive to nourish children's innate sense of curiosity, wonder and inquiry.

Campers will make friends, engage in outdoor play, learn new sports, conduct science experiments, meet special guests, explore many types of artistic materials, and much more. Many of our talented school-year teachers stay on during the summer as camp counselors for your children.
We have four camp sessions and each session is two weeks.We know families travel during the summer, and we want to work with you to find a way to make sure your child can enjoy the JCC Preschool summer camp along with your family vacations.
