Programs: The Robert J. Wilf preschool and kindergarten at the Kaiserman JCC offers comprehensive nursery, preschool and kindergarten programs on our 20-acre site. The preschool is housed in the flora and Jerome P. Heilweil building adjacent to the Conston Fitness Center. The preschool and kindergarten provide a stimulating, creative environment for children to have fun. While encouraging their cognitive, social and emotional development, we help each child build feelings of positive self-esteem. With this strong foundation, children are exposed to the complete preschool experience as they enjoy music, art, computers, kinder gym and more. Some of the more memorable experiences include celebrating Shabbat and the Jewish holidays. In addition, our fully licensed kindergarten programs offer language arts, math, social studies, science and Hebrew.
