WHY IS JESP SO SPECIAL?
Excellent teachers and assistantsOur teachers are energetic and dedicated. They prepare interesting lesson plans, educational field trips, special speaker visits and fun projects for our children. The assistants are caring, encouraging and patient. The entire staff of JESP gives 110% of themselves.
Low student to teacher ratioJESP prides itself with low student-to-teacher ratios. At JESP, your children get the attention they need and deserve.
Educational curriculumThe aim of the teachers at JESP is to prepare your children for the future. They prepare challenging, yet fun, lesson plans throughout the year and strive to make sure every child achieves their goals for the year. Academic units include: colors, shapes, numbers, calendar/seasons/weather, health and safety, animals/plants, etc.
DiversityWhile our curriculum incorporates Jewish traditions and values, we welcome (and currently have enrolled) children of many religious and cultural backgrounds. We welcome any questions you may have.

Daily music and artOur teachers use various artistic media to create projects that incorporate the day's lesson plan. In addition to daily singing, we have a music specialist who spends 1/2 hour with each class each week to teach the children music appreciation and songs. Special programs throughout the year - the Thanksgiving Program, Chanukah Concert, Spring Art Show, and Pre-K Mexican Fiesta - showcase the children's musical and artistic talents.
Field tripsField trips are scheduled throughout the year to build upon the lesson unit for the 3's and Pre-K classes. Some trips include: Schramm's Pumpkin Farm, The Museum of Natural History, The Israel Room, the local fire department, etc. The 2's class do not go on field trips, but special visitors are invited to the school to speak.
Parent participationParents are encouraged to become involved at JESP by attending fields trips, volunteering for our Lunch Bunch program, and helping with fundraising. In addition, parents may volunteer to be part of our parent-run board that works hand-in-hand with our teachers, to not only plan special events, but to also plan for the future of the school.
