The UJC Early Childhood Center is pleased to announce the opening of our newest location at 104 Bypass Road in Williamsburg.

Since 1948 the United Jewish Community of the Virginia Peninsula has operated a preschool. We are currently located on 25 wooded acres in the Winterhaven section of Newport News. Our facility has four classrooms each with its own bathroom and an exit directly to the outdoors for fire safety. There is a fully equipped outdoor playground and an indoor gymnasium which is used for rainy day activities. We offer preschool for children ages 2 through 4 and a full day Kindergarten. Before and after care is available for our students. Each of our classes features a low student-teacher ratio.

Statement of Philosophy
Children learn best in a safe, nurturing environment. Our school’s goal is to provide developmentally appropriate experiences to foster the growth of the whole child. Emphasis is placed on play and interactive learning to promote the social, emotional, academic and physical development of each child. Cognitive, creative and physical activities are planned to foster daily growth. An environment is provided that seeks to promote positive self esteem and social interaction. Our teachers strive to provide constant encouragement and praise, not only for the child’s products but also for the processes that he or she goes through in obtaining them.

As a Jewish school, we instill in our children values as well as opportunities to practice basic religious observances. The lessons we learn are those found in the Old Testament which is the foundation of our heritage.
