Charlotte Jewish Preschool Annual Fund

December 2023

When you drop your child off at Charlotte Jewish Preschool (CJP), they arrive at their home away from home, the place where they find safety, love, encouragement, and connection. Here at CJP, we prioritize the safety and security of all our students, we create a space where children can thrive, begin their Jewish educational journey, and build the foundation for their Jewish identities. For many, CJP is their first opportunity to feel like part of a kehillah (community). It is this kehillah that has helped us through the heaviest of moments — with joy, celebration, community, and hatikvah (hope).

Being a part of Shalom Park’s beautiful campus gives our children access to gyms, libraries, gardens, and more. Our school community allows our children to develop a strong sense of self, participate actively in their own learning, to be taught by the best in the field and to make connections that can last a lifetime.

At CJP, tuition covers 92% of the basics of what they need, such as occupancy costs and teacher salaries. The Annual Fund and community grants, such as our allocation from the Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte, account for the remaining amount. Your support of the Annual Fund makes all the difference. Here are examples of what your donation supports:

- Full-time staff person in the MakerSpace

- Creation of the Discover Den, a unique STEM experience room

- Capital improvements across our campus- including security enhancements, garden upgrades, and upgrading playground equipment.

We need your help. Will you be a difference-maker in our CJP community?

Charlotte Jewish Preschool is not a daycare — it’s a community school, and it requires philanthropic support from individuals like you to provide our children with high-quality care and education.

On behalf of the CJP Board of Directors, we value and appreciate your gift and your continued investment in our children’s early educational Jewish journey. Please consider donating today.

With much appreciation, The CJP Board of Directors
