Enriching Jewish Family Engagement
EarlyJ’s mission is to deepen the experience for current Jewish Early Childhood Education families, expand the circle of families who enroll in Jewish preschool, and sustain engagement once kids move on to elementary school.
One of our partners for this work has been the PJ Library Parent Connector Program — a proven, peer-led engagement program. In partnership with the Harold Grinspoon Foundation and the Bay Area Federation, we have a handful of part-time PJ Library Parents organizing programs and building relationships with hundreds of young families in the East Bay. We seek to expand the program across the Bay Area to deepen the impact, focusing on connectors anchored within preschools.
EarlyJ will also delve into new initiatives to support family engagement in the Bay Area.
