Mequon Jewish Preschool

Who Are We?

Mequon Jewish Preschool (MJP) is a leading early childhood education center that partners with children and families towards a holistic educational life approach. We are dedicated to the well-being of each child and family, with a particular focus on igniting the spark of Jewish interest and excitement. We are inspired by the vision of education from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, who believed in building a character with emphasis on moral and ethical values, as well as the Reggio Emilia approach, a leading best practice in early childhood education since 1963.

Our Curriculum and Pedagogy

At MJP, we view children as competent partners in the learning process. Our curriculum uses a seamless and joyful approach, integrating Jewish identity, traditions, and Mitzvot with academic skills and thematic deeper knowledge. We believe that growth and change are essential to high-quality education, and we see children and teachers in a constant place of becoming, never in a place of arrived. Our educators are guided and equipped to meet every child where they are at, reflecting, defining, and planning their intentions for the children accordingly.

Our curriculum follows the Rebbe's idea of "This is our life and length of our days, " by creating a unique educational compass of living a seamless curricular integration between all academic areas and our Jewish sense of being. We focus on creating an environment that awaits children's theories, questions, and interactions, turning each of those into opportunities for learning. Our curriculum fosters a landscape of life-long learning for children.
