Jeffrey Mansion Preschool
(JMP)
The Jeffrey Mansion Preschool is located on the 2nd Floor of Jeffrey Mansion. Our preschool provides opportunities for social/emotional growth and quality educational experiences.
Our staff consists of licensed and experienced teachers, who share in the belief that each student has individual needs and attributes that need to be nurtured, guided, and respected in an invigorating setting. We offer a child-centered curriculum, which follows the Preschool Standards set forth by the Ohio Department of Education. To ensure kindergarten readiness, daily lessons, experiences and projects include math, language arts, science, and fine arts, and are conducive for all learning styles. Students also have the opportunities for physical development in the motor room and on the playground located in the beautiful 34-acre Jeffrey Park.
We are licensed by the State of Ohio and maintain an 9:1 student/teacher ratio. The state requirement is 12:1. We have an open door policy where parents are encouraged to participate and share their ideas.

The teachers work to help the children establish trusting, positive relationships and build a classroom community that flourishes with creative, joyful learning. The emphasis is to expose the children to a variety of sensory, creative and engaging activities using many materials. This helps the children learn about how to use these materials to express their ideas as their skills grow. The children also learn that their individual ideas are valued and respected as part of a larger group. Child must be potty trained!

All registered students will receive an email with Child Care Forms and the Parent Handbook. Child care forms are due by May 3.
Security Deposit
All families will be required to put down an active credit card number to be charged in the event of a cancellation (see cancellation policy below).
Cancellation Policy
As we have a limited capacity and it is vitally important that we limit the coming and going of a wide range of families in and out of our program, we have had to create a cancellation policy that supports the unique challenges of our program. With that in mind, the cancellation policy will require that the family pay 2 months full tuition at the time of cancelation and 50% of the tuition fee remaining there after.
These requests must be made in writing and submitted to the Preschool Director, Cate Swendal. The Director of JMP will then contact you to confirm the cancellation being made.
