for our family. We ehoose where to
groeery shop. We ehoose our doe-

our ehildren’s edueation. Many of

had good experienees. After listen

Charlotte Jewish Presehool for
their ehildren, I thought I would
share the top ten reasons you will
love our presehool.

his early Jewish fundamentals
from a fabulous sehool with a
great eurrieulum, great faeility,
