The Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta is opening a new preschool, the MJCCA Schiff School at Temple Emanu-El at 1580 Spalding Dr., Sandy Springs, according to a press release. The preschool is for children 6 weeks to pre-K and will open on Monday, Aug. 6. Registration is now available at atlantajcc.org/SchiffSchool.
“MJCCA Preschools are a special community, one that builds lifelong learners, lasting friendships, and a lifetime of memories,” said MJCCA CEO Jared Powers. “We are thrilled with this opportunity to build another amazing preschool community at Temple Emanu-El.”
The MJCCA Schiff School will offer both full-day and half-day options for families. Half-day students attend from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Full-day students attend between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. According to the press release, children will benefit from the core curriculum as well as additional enrichment opportunities. An MJCCA membership is not required to attend the MJCCA Schiff School.
“We are fortunate to have an organization like the MJCCA, with such a long history of cultivating a stellar preschool curriculum, enrichment opportunities, and community opening a preschool here at Temple Emanu-El,” shares Temple Emanu-El’s Rabbi Spike Anderson. “The MJCCA is committed to bringing the same outstanding, intimate, and loving preschool experience that we have cultivated at Schiff over the past decades; with the enhancements that only the MJCCA can offer. We look forward to Temple Emanu-El clergy and families being an integral part of the MJCCA Schiff School.”
The MJCCA Schiff School will be the MJCCA’s third preschool. It currently offers The Weinstein School at Zaban Park in Dunwoody and The Sunshine School at Temple Kol Emeth in East Cobb. Both of those schools are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
