We are thrilled to continue expanding our preschool programming by offering "Elanot" next year.

Priority is given to children who are kindergarten eligible based on the public school cutoff date. Don't forget to tell your friends about this new, exciting program!
If you know of any families interested in joining our class, please contact the SDJA preschool director, Kira Rivkin at (858) 704-3815 or krivkin@sdja.com.
