At Michele Block Gan Yeladim, our admissions review process is designed to assess each child’s strengths and their potential to grow and succeed within our school community. Our primary goal is to ensure that all children are placed in a learning environment where they will succeed.

All families considering Michele Block Gan Yeladim Preschool & Kindergarten for their child must attend a guided tour of our school. This is an opportunity to explore our school and learn more about our unique approach to teaching and learning.

As part of our comprehensive admissions process, children participate in a school assessment. This helps us understand each child’s unique qualities and ensures the best fit for their educational journey.

While we have a primary admission period, we accept applications and review candidates throughout the year on a space-available basis.

At Michele Block Gan Yeladim, we are committed to providing a nurturing and supportive environment where your child can flourish. If you have any questions or require assistance during the admissions process, please contact ganyeladim@jcajax.org or call (904) 730-2100 ext 235.

Please note for our Teddy Bear 3-year-old program, it is essential that students can use the bathroom independently and consistently.

We look forward to welcoming your child to our community of learning and growth at Michele Block Gan Yeladim Preschool & Kindergarten!

If you are applying for the 2024-25 school year, registration will begin in February 2024. Current families enrolled in Michele Block Gan Yeladim have priority until March 5, 2024. JCA valued members have priority until March 31, 2024. Once classes are filled, eligible candidates will be placed on a waitlist and contacted as openings occur.
