I feel it is an honor to be the Director of Simcha Preschool, voted Number One Childcare in Santa Cruz County by the Good Times Weekly for the past 9 years in a row. As a small program we foster meaningful relationships with each of our families that continue long after they leave the program. Children here learn to be together in a loving and respectful environment. where they are respected and valued as individuals. We also foster a sense of community, where kindness and conflict resolution, sprinkled with plenty of laughter and fun are deeply held values! Caitlin Clancy, Director, Simcha Preschool
