Q Street Preschool Program
Q STREET PRESCHOOL - PROVIDES A FULL-DAY PRESCHOOL PROGRAM IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF OPEN-ENDED EXPLORATION, CURIOSITY, AND GROWTH FOR CHILDREN, TEACHERS, AND FAMILIES. THIS YEAR, DUE TO THE COVID RESTRCTIONS FROM DC HEALTH AND OSSE, WE NEEDED TO GREATLY LIMIT THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN IN EACH CLASSROOM AND TO FOLLOW STRICT PODDING GUIDELINES. WE BEGAN THE SCHOOL YEAR WITH 84 CHILDREN IN 11 CLASSROOMS AND BY THE END OF THE YEAR HAD 105 CHILDREN IN 12 CLASSROOMS. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO OFFER AFTER-CARE OR ENRICHMENT CLASSES AFTER THE END OF THE SCHOOL DAY AS WE USUALLY DO. THE CHILDREN WERE ENROLLED IN TWELVE STATE-OF-THE-ART RENOVATED PRESCHOOL CLASSROOMS. THE PRESCHOOL STRIVES TO DEEPEN CONNECTIONS TO JUDAISM, THE COMMUNITY, ETHICS & MORALS, AND THE WORLD AROUND US. THE SCHOOL EMPLOYS METHODS THAT PROMOTE A CONSTRUCTIVIST PEDAGOGICAL MODEL WHEREBY THE CHILDREN'S INTERESTS DICTATE THE SUBJECTS THROUGH WHICH BASIC SKILLS LIKE NUMERACY AND LITERACY ARE TAUGHT. THIS PROJECT-BASEDAPPROACH ALLOWS THE CHILDREN TO DYNAMICALLY INTERACT WITH ALL THE ORGANIZATION HAS TO OFFER, AND TO CREATE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FROM THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND THEM.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2020 – Jun 30, 2021Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$3.6MTheater J Productions

DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, THEATER J DID NOT STAGE PRODUCTIONS IN FY21, BUT OFFERED ONLINE CLASSES TAUGHT BY TOP-TIER THEATER ARTISTS, BRINGING HUNDREDS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS TOGETHER IN MEANINGFUL DISCUSSION AND ALLOWED US TO CONTINUE TO EMPLOY LOCAL ARTISTS DURING THE PANDEMIC.
