Preschool Programs at FVJC

Social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development within a caring Jewish community.

The Mandell JCC/Farmington Valley Jewish Congregation Early Childhood Center is a joint program of the two organizations.

Children of all backgrounds find a comfortable home in an energetic and colorful learning environment.

All of our families are also encouraged to participate in the many fun programs hosted by The Chai Center in Avon, and the Mandell JCC in West Hartford.

We also offer Gan Katon, our special Sunday School for preschoolers, which meets once a month during regular Sunday School hours. Click here to view the calendar.
