For 68 years Jack & Jill Preschool & Kindergarten has been providing the highest quality daycare services to families throughout York.
We are committed to providing children with a safe, loving environment and care that meets each child's unique needs.
Although there is no substitute for the bond between a child and his or her parents, daycare provides benefits only gained from exposure and interactions with adults and children outside the immediate family.
The attention we provide each child helps build independence, trust, and social skills.
The bonds children build during their time with us will help them adapt to changes in their environment as they enter public or private school, and the cognitive skills they develop will help them excel throughout their academic careers.
