East Valley JCC

I can't say enough positive things about East Valley JCC! My one-year-old attended for a few months and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff is incredibly warm and welcoming. One of the most touching gestures was when they surprised us with a beautiful frame with "I miss you" messages along with photos of my son during his time at school. It speaks volumes about their thoughtfulness and dedication to the children and families they support. I appreciated how attentive and caring the teachers were, always ensuring that my son felt safe and happy. If you’re looking for a loving and supportive environment for your little one, I highly recommend East Valley JCC. It’s a fantastic choice!

Our son has been attending East Valley JCC for a little under two years, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The organization is fantastic—everything runs smoothly, and communication with parents is top-notch. Pam, in particular, does an outstanding job of keeping us informed and really listening to parent feedback to continuously improve their programs. The teachers are kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in the kids’ growth. They're also very responsive through the app, which makes staying in the loop effortless. We truly appreciate how active and engaged the entire staff is. Even though my wife and I aren't Jewish, we've loved the cultural exposure our son has received—from celebrating holidays to learning traditions and participating in Shabbat. It’s been a beautiful, enriching experience for our whole family. While we love all the teachers, we want to give a special shout-out to Sheyanna, who consistently goes above and beyond in her role. Her care and dedication have made a huge impact on our son. No matter where we’re living, EVJCC is well worth the drive. We’re so grateful to be part of this wonderful community!

Our child has been at EVJCC since he was 12 weeks old, and he will soon graduate kindergarten. The school director, Pam, is incredibly knowledgeable about early childhood education and puts in a tremendous amount of work in ensuring that their early childhood program is top notch. We were first drawn to the school because of their 4 star quality first rating, which is now (the highest) 5 star rating. Additionally, the EVJCC administrators, teachers and staff were an incredible source of compassionate support during several years when our family endured loss and hardship. Though we were struggling, it was such a comfort to know my child was safe and happy in their loving care. We will forever be grateful for their kindness.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful this school is. We have been with the JCC for years and we are so impressed. Our kiddo has learned SO much. We’ve never had one issue at all. Thank you to all the wonderful staff and teachers!!! 💕💕💕

My children have LOVED the JCC. Shabbat is amazing, all the teachers have been wonderful and Pam is always so accommodating. We are very grateful to have our children in this safe and supportive facility.

I'm glad others have had positive experiences here, but unfortunately my son did very poorly. Behaviorally he was having issues at school and at home, so we decided to pull him; he wasn't thriving and whatever the model here is, it wasn't a good fit for him. Then on his last day, he had a meltdown and they called us to pick him up early--he was totally calm when I arrived, but I guess they just wanted him gone. Maybe that explains a lot of the behavior, feeling unwanted, because I'm sure he could tell. Anyway, felt like a cruel and retributive way to end our stint here, and as such I can't really recommend the JCC to others.

Our 2 year old has loved the JCC! From her toddler class, Ms. Lisa to her 2's class Ms. Yamille, she has loved them all. All the little ones seem to get along well and I've never walked in on them crying or yelling. There's a community feel, which is nice too. The front desk staff Vanessa and Stephanie are also super helpful and so sweet, plus the baked goods are amazing. Pam, the director, is very helpful, reasonable, and always gets back to you if you have any questions. Can't say enough good things!

Our experience at the J for 4 years has been amazing. This is professional childcare facility with experienced staff and leadership. Due to moving we won't be able to attend any more and my first visit to check out a highly recommended preschool was so disappointing. At the J the large classrooms are always clean and organized with a great environment to learn in. There is ample indoor space for when the summer hits vs an extra classroom that is re-purposed at other preschools. We will definitely miss having such a great spot for our child.
